Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy aims to maximise a child's ability to live an active life by promoting development of movement skills and functional abilities.

- development of skills such as running, jumping, balance and coordination in preschool and school age children;
- monitoring development in premature and 'at risk' babies;
- unusual walking patterns such as in turning feet and toes;
- improvement of functional abilities such as sitting, balance and coordination;
- specialised physical management equipment requirements such as standing and walking frames for children with more complex needs.
