What is Physiotherapy?
A paediatric physiotherapist has expertise in anatomy and physiology, as well as an expert understanding of child development, and uses this to assess and treat children with a variety of health conditions.
Paediatric physiotherapy is the treatment of musculoskeletal issues, developmental issues, and other injuries in children, it focuses on problems that may inhibit the motor function and movement of children as they grow.
Who can access Physiotherapy?
Our Physiotherapists work with people of all ages. Developmental issues in babies and toddlers could actually be the result of physical issues and musculoskeletal problems, so early intervention is recommended as the sooner we work to correct developmental issues, the easier they can be resolved.
What does Physiotherapy at Hessel Group look like?
Our Physiotherapists specialise in the assessment and treatment of infants and children and can assist in many aspects of your child’s physical and neurological development. We can assist in developing a play-based intervention program to help your child achieve the best outcomes.
Treatment aims to optimise the health, well-being, and abilities of each child to enable them to move and participate in everyday activities, like playing, learning, going to school, and being part of a family and community.
Assessments in paediatric care can be more thorough than with adult practices. With adults, there is a clear idea of a problem due to the injury or a referral from a doctor.

- Gross motor skills
- Concerns about movement
