Kids-Physio | Paediatric Physiotherapy

Babies and young children learn best through play. Learn how to structure your child’s play to achieve their goals. Often children are having so much fun they don’t realise they are working hard. Kids-Physio will work with your routines to design treatments that fit your lifestyle.
Older children and teenagers still enjoy having fun and their treatment may be combinations of exercises and fun activities, all aimed at working towards their goals.

Young adults usually have exercises and a focus on work, social opportunities and community participation.

Sessions generally will often involve muscle or joint stretching, muscle strengthening, balance, co-ordination, body alignment, posture and skill development. Sue will be thinking about Orthopaedics (joints and muscles), Neurology (brain, nerves and muscle tone), the Senses (vision, hearing, touch, pressure), Child Development and your family’s unique strengths to develop an appropriate treatment plan for your child.
Sue understands your child participates in many different environments. It may be beneficial to have sessions at home, childcare, kinder, school, hydrotherapy pool, Leisure Centre, playground or another community setting. Then you or the staff can see directly how to implement therapy strategies within that setting.
Sometimes Orthotics and Equipment/ Assistive Technology can help your child to function better or participate more easily. Sue has experience with prescription of Orthotics and Equipment/ Assistive Technology. Sue is a registered provider with the Statewide Equipment Program (SWEP) and National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
