Physiotherapy Disability Services
If there are certain tasks and activities that your child finds difficulty with, doing physiotherapy several hours a week could make a big difference. Physical activities like rolling, crawling, sitting, standing and walking may seem like easy things but it’s not the same for every child. Our qualified physiotherapist can help your child develop their muscles and strengthen them using different exercises.
We all want to be able to do things for ourselves. Activities like taking milk out of the fridge or brushing our own teeth may seem like small everyday things. But for some, they are hard to do. By using a well thought of physiotherapy program, children will have a chance of improving their skills for things like bike riding and balancing. Our personalised and evidence-based physiotherapy sessions include massage, joint manipulation, exercise stretches, TENS machine, Shockwave Therapy and more.
