We work closely with speech / feeding therapists, GIT specialists and dieticians for holistic management across feeding, digestion and movement. 


Learn about how constipation can contribute to enuresis (leaking) and encopresis (soiling). Learn about elimination communication (EC) in babies and toddlers under 18m.

Cerebral Palsy & Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Cerebral Palsy & Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Paediatric Pelvic Floor | Constipation & Gas | Withholding | Bedwetting

We focus on holistic care with quality of movement at the centre - to focus on building new brain skills through analysing movement - looking at where your child can best explore and lay foundations from which to grow. 


We use individualised therapy to assist kids - we think out the box!


It is essential in any hypoxic brain injury or complicated birth history that your baby has a general movements assessment done, and that they initiate early therapy (ASAP!) in order to have better long term outcomes. 

Co-ordination, Balance difficulties & Ball Skills

Cerebral Palsy & Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Co-ordination, Balance difficulties & Ball Skills

Following an assessment, we work to achieve improved balance and co-ordination through understanding which components are missing and working to build skills in this area. 


E.g. Developmental co-ordination Disorder (DCD / "clumsy child") 


School visits could be arranged.

Strengthening the Musculoskeletal System

Cerebral Palsy & Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy

Co-ordination, Balance difficulties & Ball Skills

We'll assess your child's strength, control and tone and optimise this through creative activities. 


This includes looking at how they use their posture, balance and co-ordination to function in daily activities as well as at school. 


Children who have hyper-mobility can benefit greatly from physiotherapy to improve their body awareness and control of their joints. 


We have a HyperVibe G10 Vibration Plate that provides pivotal whole body vibration which allows for strengthening, improving balance and providing proprioceptive input.

Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation (FES/EMS) / E-Stim

Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation (FES/EMS) / E-Stim

We offer services to improve cardiopulmonary function following  surgical procedures; provide chest physiotherapy techniques to remove secretions, improve air entry and endurance. 


If your child has spent time in ICU or has had a thoracic or abdominal surgery, it could be very helpful to have physiotherapy, not only for mobilising - but for maximising respiratory function, cough efficacy and maintenance or improvement of air entry and prevention  or removal of secretions (phlegm). 


If your child has a neuromuscular disorder such as SMA, DMD, myopathy etc. it is important that a chest assessment and appropriate treatment is included as part of their care for long term outcomes. 

Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation (FES/EMS) / E-Stim

Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation (FES/EMS) / E-Stim

Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation (FES/EMS) / E-Stim
