Our Paediatric Physiotherapy services are designed to help children overcome physical challenges and thrive in everyday life. With a focus on early support, our physiotherapists promote movement, independence, and confidence—giving every child the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Our Approach
We take a family-centred, child-led approach to therapy. Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists work closely with families, caregivers, and other health professionals to create engaging, personalised treatment plans. Sessions are designed to be fun, goal-oriented, and responsive to each child’s developmental stage and interests.
Services We Offer
Our physiotherapy programs are designed to address both short- and long-term goals through:
Comprehensive assessments and developmental screenings
Customised treatment plans tailored to the child’s needs
Exercise programs to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility
Mobility aid assessments and equipment prescriptions
School and early education visits to support learning participation
Developmental Delays
Children with developmental delays may experience slower progression in areas like sitting, crawling, walking, or coordination. Physiotherapy supports these children by introducing targeted activities that encourage movement patterns, muscle control, and balance at their own pace.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy affects movement and posture due to early brain development differences. Our physiotherapists focus on improving muscle tone, mobility, and joint function—while supporting independence through adaptive strategies, positioning, and mobility aids.
Down Syndrome
Children with Down syndrome often experience low muscle tone, joint laxity, and motor planning difficulties. We help strengthen core muscles, improve balance, and support gross motor milestones like walking, climbing stairs, or riding a bike.
Muscular Dystrophy
This genetic condition causes progressive muscle weakness. Physiotherapy aims to preserve mobility, manage fatigue, and maintain joint flexibility. Our team also assists with positioning, equipment, and long-term movement planning.
Conditions We Support
At Reverence Community Care, our Paediatric Physiotherapy team supports children living with a range of physical, neurological, and developmental challenges. We understand that every child’s journey is unique. Our therapists are experienced in providing compassionate, evidence-based care to children with diverse needs, helping them improve mobility, confidence, and everyday participation.
