Physiotherapy

Paediatric physiotherapy at Footprints aims to help improve gross motor skills and mobility, working towards competence in sitting, standing, walking and, later, more refined gross motor skills – jumping, running, skipping.

Our physiotherapists work with each child to improve range of motion, to build strength and endurance and improve balance – all necessary in achieving maximum functional independence.

Physiotherapists at Footprints use their expertise and a variety of techniques to set goals and create therapy programs that are tailored to the specific needs of each child. We are always ready to refer children to other disciplines within our practice and to other community agencies when this would assist a positive treatment outcome.
