Our experienced physiotherapists cover all developmental, musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary issues, ensuring comprehensive care for every child.

Addressing parents' concerns with empathy and expertise, we create personalised treatment plans to optimise your child's physical development and motor skills.

We use play-based activities, exercises, experience and techniques to address conditions such as developmental delays, injuries or postural issues. Physiotherapy can enhance motor skills, coordination, and balance, making activities like walking, running, jumping and playing easier and more enjoyable.

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.

Yes, Physiotherapists can teach bike riding (and they love to do it)! We can provide tailored strategies and support to help children develop the necessary skills for riding a bike safely and confidently, addressing any physical or coordination challenges that may arise.

Our Physiotherapists love to use many different ways to support movement - including pool sessions! Hydrotherapy is a wonderful way to promote movement, build strength and learn water safety skills that are vital in Australia! Check out more details below.
