For Rehabilitation & Physical Development

Paediatric physiotherapy focuses on the physical development and rehabilitation of children. This type of therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions that may limit mobility or physical development, including musculoskeletal disorders and neurological disorders.

At PhysioCare Townsville, several of our physiotherapists have undertaken further study to work with paediatric patients. Our physiotherapists can tailor a treatment session to best suit the needs of each child. We understand that children’s needs can be very complex which is why our treatment sessions vary from our treatment rooms to the local park or to the patient’s own house.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are neuromuscular conditions?

Neuromuscular conditions are disorders that affect the muscles and nerves, resulting in a reduced ability to move or control muscle movement. Examples of neuromuscular conditions include cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and spinal cord injuries. Physiotherapy can help improve mobility, strength and coordination in people with these types of conditions.
Do you offer in-home paediatric physiotherapy sessions?

Yes, depending on your child’s needs, we may be able to arrange physiotherapy sessions at your home or another location convenient to you. Please get in touch with our team to discuss this further.
How can paediatric physiotherapy complement other forms of therapy and assistance my child is receiving?

Paediatric physiotherapy can help improve a child’s physical development and rehabilitation, which can complement the other forms of therapy and assistance they may receive. For example, suppose a child is receiving speech therapy. Paediatric physiotherapy can help improve their movement or coordination so that they can better understand and use the language they are learning.

Similarly, if a child is receiving occupational therapy, physiotherapy can help to improve their physical ability and enable them to carry out activities more efficiently. Paediatric physiotherapists can work closely with other health professionals such as doctors, speech pathologists, nutritionists, occupational therapists, psychologists and social workers.
