Our approach

Supporting development through play and everyday movement.

We provide physiotherapy for children that allows them to initiate and direct their own play with the support of their parent/caregiver and therapist. Physiotherapy is tailored towards the individual needs of your child and we use creative strategies to make therapy fun and enjoyable.

Individual treatment planningWe identify what your child is doing well and where they are having difficulties, then develop a treatment plan together.
Meaningful everyday settingsWe work in environments that are relevant to your child and their daily life.
Connected careWe utilise close links with a range of allied health professionals to best support your child’s development.
