Our physios work with children through all stages - from pre-term infants to adolescents.
After thorough assessment, we will work with you and your child to determine your main concerns and needs and develop an individual treatment plan. This may include:
- Education and advise to parents and carers on ways to optimise physical outcomes and allow your child better participation and quality of life
- An individual home exercise program including strengthening, stretches, dedicated play activities or balance and coordination skills
- Physiotherapy sessions to target individual needs and progress exercises as needs change. This may include hydrotherapy and water based exercise.
- Assisting with equipment needs
- Liaising with schools and other health professionals and providing support.
- Joint sessions with your child’s occupational therapist, speech therapist or Early Intervention team to faciliate better quality of care.
Grow Strong physiotherapists are all experienced paediatric clinicians with expertise in a wide variety of conditions and concerns in children:
- Assessment of childhood development and concerns regarding delay, milestones, balance, strength and coordination
- Rehabilitation following accident, injury (inc sports injuries, fractures, back pain), surgery (including post-intervention therapy) or major health events (such as brain injury, stroke or tumour)
- Head tendency concerns, ‘misshapen’ head (plagiocephaly) and neck tightness (torticollis) in infants
- Cerebral Palsy, Down’s syndrome, muscular dystrophies, genetic and congenital conditions
- Toe walking and concerns regarding your child’s walking or feet
- Respiratory issues such as cystic fibrosis, chronic chest infections and bronchiectasis
- Poor posture or concerns regarding activity and fitness, chronic headaches or chronic fatigue
All our sessions are held at your home, child’s school, kinder or day care centre, or in local parks or pools (click here for where we go).
