Importance of Paediatric Physiotherapy
Paediatric Physiotherapy plays an essential role in helping children grow, move, and thrive. It supports the physical development and wellbeing of young patients by addressing conditions such as developmental delays, motor impairments, neurological disorders, respiratory issues, and orthopaedic injuries. Using evidence-based techniques, our paediatric physiotherapists help children build strength, improve coordination, enhance mobility, and increase confidence in their everyday activities.
Our Albury and Wodonga paediatric physio team can assist with:
- Developmental delays and movement difficulties
- Genetic and neuromuscular disorders
- Respiratory conditions and postural control
- Cerebral palsy and musculoskeletal conditions
- Rehabilitation following injury or surgery
Key Services in Paediatric Physiotherapy
We tailor every session to your child’s age, condition, and goals to ensure therapy is both effective and enjoyable.

Early intervention helps promote healthy motor development, posture, and muscle control. Gentle play-based exercises, stretching, and positioning techniques are used to encourage strength, coordination, and sensory integration.
Physiotherapy for Children & Adolescents:
Our programs for older children and teens address specific injuries, post-surgical recovery, or chronic conditions such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy. Treatment may include manual therapy, exercise programs, mobility aids, and functional training, all focused on improving independence and confidence.
