What Is Paediatric Physiotherapy?

Paediatric physiotherapy supports children and young people, from infants through to adolescents, to develop and maintain the physical skills they need for everyday life. Sessions address movement, strength, coordination, balance and developmental milestones in ways that are engaging, age-appropriate and meaningful to the child.

At Physio Inq, our AHPRA-registered paediatric physiotherapists work with children where they spend their time: at home, at school, in childcare settings and in the community. This connects therapy to the activities that matter most, whether that is keeping up with peers, participating in play or building confidence in physical tasks. We work closely with families, teachers and other allied health professionals to keep therapy consistent and well coordinated.

Paediatric physiotherapists can help with

  • Gross motor skill development, including crawling, walking, running and jumping
  • Coordination, balance and body awareness
  • Strength and endurance for physical activity and play
  • Support for children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and other neurological conditions
  • Developmental delay and movement milestone concerns
  • Postural support and core stability
  • Physiotherapy for children with NDIS funding
  • Hypermobility and joint instability management
  • Rehabilitation following injury or surgery
  • Supporting participation in school, sport and community activities

All treatment plans are developed in partnership with the child's family and, where relevant, their school and allied health team.

In Your Home

Home-based paediatric physiotherapy allows sessions to take place where children are most comfortable and relaxed. Working in the home gives our physiotherapists direct insight into how a child moves and functions in their everyday setting.

In School, Childcare or in your Community

For children whose goals relate to participation in school or childcare, we deliver physiotherapy directly in those settings, so therapy is applied in the environment where the child needs to function.

Our physiotherapists work collaboratively with teachers and support staff, so therapy goals are understood and reinforced throughout the school day.

Online (Telehealth)

Telehealth paediatric physiotherapy is available for check-ins, exercise program reviews and parent coaching between in-person sessions.

It is a useful option for families in regional or remote areas, and for goals focused on guidance and review rather than hands-on assessment.

Who We Support

Physio Inq's paediatric physiotherapy services are available to children and young people across a broad range of ages, conditions and support needs. As a registered NDIS provider, we support children whose physiotherapy is funded through their NDIS plan, with goal-based therapy and timely reports to support plan reviews.

Infants and Toddlers

Early intervention is an important part of supporting children to reach their developmental milestones.

Our physiotherapists work with infants and toddlers to address movement concerns, support physical development and give families practical strategies to use at home.

Children with Developmental Conditions

Our physiotherapists have experience working with children living with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder, spina bifida and other conditions affecting movement and physical development.

Therapy is shaped around each child's goals and delivered in the settings where those goals apply.

School-Aged Children and Teenagers

For older children and teens, therapy focuses on the physical goals that matter most in daily life, whether that is participating in sport, managing a condition affecting school attendance, or building the strength and coordination needed for independence.

We provide clear guidance and practical home activities at every session, and welcome questions and involvement from families throughout the process.
