Physiotherapists helps you understand what is stopping your child’s body from working for them. We find out what skills they are good at and what is really hard for them. We address issues affecting the musculoskeletal, neuromuscular and sensory systems.

Infants, babies, toddlers and young children are evaluated for movement disorders, range of motion, posture, strength, muscle tone, balance, gross motor skills, mobility, and gait.

Physiotherapy for Babies
Physiotherapists work with mums and dads to teach them different ways of doing everyday little things that makes babies stronger and more flexible. This might include things like:

•	Giving ideas to help with different daily positions such as sleeping, sitting, kneeling and standing.
•	Picking baby up – a good time for the baby to practice lifting its head
•	Showing parents how to hold, cuddle and handle the baby – this can be tricky!

Physiotherapy for Kids
Physiotherapists help to find different ways to make the child better at playing and getting around to explore their environment – starting with rolling then creeping, crawling and walking

Lots of kids need special seating or other devices to makes life easier at home. There are lots of other pieces of equipment that can help a child sit, stand, walk or even sleep better.
