Gentle, engaging care for infants and children.
This page is for general information only, not medical advice. Always consult a qualified physiotherapist.
What this care covers
Children move, grow and heal differently from adults, and paediatric physiotherapy is built around that. It supports infants, toddlers and older children with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, torticollis, posture issues and growth-related injuries. Sessions use play-based activities so children stay engaged while they build strength and work towards their next motor milestones, with parents involved at every step.
