Dalena’s interest in physiotherapy stemmed from a background as a support worker for children with special needs, where she was inspired by the power of early intervention and neuroplasticity.
She is a mixed bag of experience and expertise, her interest areas including neurological & rare genetic conditions, gait analysis and orthotic management, orthopaedics and toe-walking. She is level C Dynamic movement intervention (DMI) trained. Dalena also has further training in OSKAR orthotic management, and has worked in a huge variety of areas (from Cairns, Australia all the way to Kathmandu, Nepal!)
Dalena finds joy in hiking and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Though she swears she was awful at sports as a kid, she credits her newfound skills to neuroplasticity - her mantra: it’s never too late to try new things!

Nicky grew up in sunny Queensland and completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy in Brisbane. She started out working in musculoskeletal sports rehab, but found a passion in treating her paediatric patients.
Nicky always wanted to work in an area where she could improve a child’s quality of life, whilst having heaps of fun - so paediatric physiotherapy was the perfect combo! She has an interest in treating orthopaedic concerns and motor skill development delays. Her goal is to support every child and their family along the way.
When it comes to fun, her favourite activity in the centre is any type of obstacle course. Outside of the centre, Nicky loves heading to the beach, eating sour lollies and running (she’s finished six half marathons!).

Even if you don’t perceive any delays, checking in with a Physiotherapist can still be beneficial. It provides an opportunity for a professional assessment to ensure your child is developing as expected and to address any concerns early. Physiotherapists will offer guidance on activities that support healthy growth and development.
-
Toe-walking can be addressed through both Physiotherapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) dependent on the root cause of the toe-walking. The great thing is that we work in a multidisciplinary team at EveryKid! A Physiotherapist can evaluate the child's gait, assess for underlying issues, and develop a treatment plan that may include exercises, stretches and strategies to encourage heel-to-toe walking. Occupational therapy (OT) plays a role in addressing toe-walking if there are sensory components and if the toe-walking impacts daily activities or self-care skills.
-
Children with ASD may benefit from Physiotherapy to improve motor skills, coordination and body awareness. As there can be a link between low muscle tone and autism, Physio can help build muscle strength to address challenges like difficulty with balance, posture or engaging in physical activities.
-
Both professions aim to enhance physical well-being but may take different approaches based on specific goals and each therapists training background.
-
Not necessarily. The duration of therapy varies based on individual needs and goals. Some children may require short-term intervention to address specific issues, while others might need ongoing support or scheduled check ins to track their development and progress. The aim of therapy is to equip you and your child with the skills and confidence to progress independently.
