Paediatrics
WA onlyWhat is paediatric rehabilitation?
Some things happen in the early years… Our team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech pathologists are here to help.
Our dedicated team provide tailored assessments and the subsequent management of a wide variety of musculoskeletal, movement and behavioural disorders affecting infants and children.
Paediatric therapy exercises and activities vary depending on your child’s disorder, age and needs, but incorporates interactive talking, play and movement and homework strategies to be encouraged by a parent or caregiver.
