During your initial 65-minute appointment (45 minutes face-to-face and 20 minutes for clinical documentation), your physiotherapist will take the time to understand your concerns, goals and support needs. They will assess movement, function and physical development to develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual goals.
For younger children, assessments often incorporate play-based activities to create a fun, engaging environment while providing valuable insight into their movement and development. Where appropriate, your physiotherapist may also provide a written report with recommendations to support ongoing progress and guide families, carers, educators and other members of your support team.
Many of our clients benefit from regular weekly or fortnightly physiotherapy sessions. Regular appointments help build skills, monitor progress and support ongoing achievement of individual goals.
Physiotherapy sessions run for 65 minutes (45 minutes face-to-face and 20 minutes for clinical documentation) and are tailored to each person’s age, abilities and treatment goals.
For children, our purpose-designed therapy spaces feature a range of engaging equipment—including rock walls, swings, monkey bars and crash mats—to make therapy fun, motivating and developmentally appropriate. Therapy for teenagers and young adults is adapted to suit their goals, interests and stage of life, ensuring every session is meaningful, practical and engaging.
Depending on your goals and support needs, your physiotherapist may recommend a short period of more intensive therapy. This could involve longer sessions or more frequent appointments over several days or weeks to accelerate progress towards specific goals.
Intensive therapy can be particularly effective when working towards important milestones, developing new skills or improving movement and function in a focused way. The increased frequency of sessions provides more opportunities to practise new skills, reinforce movement patterns and support the transfer of those skills into everyday life.
The following is a guide you can use to decide whether your child may need physiotherapy based on their age and symptoms.
We offer a range of funding options. Many of our clients have NDIS funding (we accept self-managed or plan-managed funding only). If you do not have an NDIS plan, you may be able to get a GP referral to help cover the cost of therapy through a Mental Health Care Plan which can attract a Medicare rebate for up to 5-10 sessions per year. We also accept GP Medicare Plans (often known as Team Care Arrangements), as long as your plan has at least three sessions nominated to one of our therapists. You may also be entitled to rebates on your Health Fund. All of our fees are in line with the current NDIS pricing guide. We welcome all enquiries about pricing.
Physiotherapists help children, teens and young adults improve movement, build strength and confidence, and achieve their physical goals following illness, injury, disability or developmental challenges.
Physiotherapy can make a meaningful difference by improving movement, strength, coordination and confidence, helping people participate more fully in everyday life. Whether the goal is reaching developmental milestones, recovering from an injury, managing a disability or improving physical function, therapy is always tailored to the individual’s needs.
Our physiotherapists have extensive experience supporting babies, children, teenagers and young adults. For younger children, we use engaging, play-based therapy to encourage movement and make sessions enjoyable, while older children, teens and young adults receive age-appropriate treatment designed around their goals, interests and stage of life.
Your physiotherapist will develop a personalised treatment plan based on your individual goals, strengths and support needs. Common areas we support include:
Following a comprehensive physical assessment, your physiotherapist will work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include education and practical strategies, personalised exercises, recommendations for everyday routines, equipment or assistive technology and guidance for families, carers or other members of your support team where appropriate.
We support children, teens and young adults with a wide range of disabilities, developmental differences and physical challenges. Our team has extensive experience supporting autistic individuals, ADHD, trauma, neurological conditions and a broad range of movement and developmental needs.
Our physios work at our three north Brisbane clinics – Kallangur (ages 0-9), Burpengary (ages 0-17) and Zillmere (0-25). We also offer mobile physiotherapy sessions and can come to your child’s school, childcare centre or your home.
