Gentle, engaging care for infants and children.

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.
