At what age can physiotherapy start?
Very early. Babies can start as soon as a concern is noticed.
About this therapy
What it is.
Paediatric physiotherapy helps children who are late to reach motor milestones, or who find movement hard because of conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delay, low muscle tone or injury. It works on strength, balance, coordination and posture.
Sessions use balls, mats, soft blocks and play, so children practise movements without it feeling like exercise. We also show you activities to keep progress going at home.

Families ask
Good questions.
Is physiotherapy painful?
It shouldn't be. Sessions are play-based and adjusted to your child's comfort.
How is it different from occupational therapy?
Physiotherapy focuses on big movements like sitting, walking and balance. Occupational therapy focuses on everyday skills like handwriting, dressing and sensory processing.
