How we help
Tailored support for kids from premature babies to teenagers.
Respiratory Physiotherapy
Respiratory physiotherapy for children is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on preventing, treating, and managing respiratory (breathing) conditions in infants, children, and adolescents. This Respiratory Physiotherapy is crucial for children with chronic respiratory conditions, those recovering from acute illnesses, or children who need support for breathing difficulties due to other medical conditions.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy for children is a specialised area of physiotherapy focused on diagnosing, treating, and managing disorders and injuries of the musculoskeletal system (bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joints) in children. Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy takes into account the unique aspects of children’s bodies, which are still growing and developing, and therefore requires a different approach compared to adults.
Neurodevelopment Physiotherapy
Neurodevelopmental physiotherapy for children focuses on supporting the motor development and functional abilities of children with neurological conditions. Neurodevelopmental Physiotherapy aims to enhance the child’s quality of life by improving their movement patterns, strength, coordination, balance, and participation in daily activities. The approach is grounded in the understanding of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, which can be particularly effective in children due to their developing brains.
Orthopaedic Physiotherapy
Orthopaedic physiotherapy for children focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders related to the skeletal system, muscles, joints, and associated structures like tendons and ligaments. Orthopaedic Physiotherapy addresses conditions ranging from congenital abnormalities and growth-related issues to injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation. The ultimate goal is to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to the greatest extent possible.
Normal developmental milestones by age
Find out what is normal development so that you can determine if your child’s development is within normal limits or if your child’s development is delayed and requires intervention.
Are you a parent, concerned about your child’s development but unsure if you are being “ paranoid and over reacting”? Been looking at Dr Google for answers but not quite sure what condition you are actually looking for? Tried searching for answers based on the symptoms that you see your child displaying and now you think that your child could possibly have some serious rare genetic condition?!
Have no fear, stop and take a deep breath.
You are not alone.
Here at Sydney Kids Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists meet many parents like you, who are distraught with fears and anxiety about their child’s development. Some parents want to know – “is there anything wrong with their child?” because they have noticed some odd behaviours or movement patterns, while others just want to know – “if what their child is doing is normal or not?” To help alleviate some of these stresses that parents and caregivers experience, we have listed the normal developmental milestones expected according to a child’s age, as well as the possible causes for abnormal movement patterns and symptoms parents see. This list is by no means comprehensive or exhaustive, and is not meant to replace the benefits of seeking medical professional advice that is specific for your child.
Early Intervention is key to helping your child achieve their best potential, as such we have also highlighted some crucial key events where timing of intervention can make a big difference to a child’s outcomes. If you have any concerns about your child’s development, instead of waiting and watching, hoping for symptoms to resolve, we encourage you to pick up the phone and reach out to us, one of our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists would be happy to help you out and point you in the right direction.
