What is Paediatric Physiotherapy?

Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy dedicated to supporting the physical development and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents.

 

It focuses on helping children build strength, coordination, balance, mobility and independence. Interventions are tailored to each child’s unique needs and are delivered in a fun, engaging, and supportive way. 

 

Physiotherapists work to promote greater independence, improve functional skills, and support participation in daily life—whether at home, in school, or during play.

 

The approach is holistic, family-centred, and aims to enhance quality of life, support participation in daily routines, and empower families on their journey.
