Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What age group do you see?
We provide service to babies, teens and young adults from 0-25 years old. We are a paediatric service but we recognise that some young adults still need a paediatric approach to their care.
What conditions do you see?
We see a wide range of conditions and diagnoses. These include but are not limited to: developmental delays, baby neck or head issues, sporting injuries, scoliosis, hypermobility, autism spectrum, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, genetic disorders plus more. Please contact if you are unsure if we can help!
How often are therapy sessions scheduled?
Each child's goals, needs, and family capacity is unique. Therefore we take a tailored and individualised approach to your child. We can provide intensive therapies, coach you as the parent or their care givers in the therapy strategies or provide maintenance therapy.
Can parents be involved in the therapy process?
For sure, we always encourage parents to get involved with their children to get the best results. Parents are provided tools and resources to guide their children at home.
