What does a physiotherapist do for children?

A paediatric physiotherapist can help a child develop and improve their physical abilities so they can move, play, and participate in daily activities with greater confidence and ease. For children, physiotherapy often focuses on:

Gross motor skills – such as crawling, walking, running, jumping, and climbing
Balance and coordination – to improve stability and reduce falls
Posture and muscle strength – to support sitting, standing, and movement
Recovery from injury or surgery – helping children regain strength and mobility
Management of developmental delays or physical disabilities – through tailored exercises and play-based therapy

Paediatric physiotherapists assess each child’s unique needs and create personalised therapy plans that make use of fun, age-appropriate activities. Their goal is to help children move more freely, build independence, and reach important developmental milestones.

When should a child see a physiotherapist?

At Kids Club Paediatric Therapy, children often see our physiotherapists after an injury or surgery that affects how they move. Whether it’s a broken bone, muscle strain, joint injury, or recovery from a medical procedure, our team is here to help your child regain strength, mobility, and confidence.

You may want to book an appointment with our paediatric physiotherapy team if your child:

Is recovering from a fracture, sprain, or muscle injury
Has recently had orthopaedic or neurological surgery
Needs support returning to sport, play, or physical activity after time off
Is experiencing ongoing pain, stiffness, or reduced movement after an injury
Needs help rebuilding strength, balance, or coordination following a period of rest

Our physiotherapists use gentle, play-based techniques to make therapy fun and effective. We work closely with you and your child to create a personalised plan that supports a safe and confident return to daily activities, school, and sport—at a pace that feels right for them.

At what age can you start physiotherapy?

At Kids Club Paediatric Therapy, there’s no minimum age for physiotherapy—if a baby, toddler, or teen needs support with movement, recovery from injury, or reaching physical milestones, our team is here to help.

We commonly see:

Infants who may have conditions like torticollis, flat head syndrome, or delayed motor milestones (e.g. not rolling, crawling, or sitting)
Toddlers and preschoolers who need support with balance, walking, or recovering from an injury
School-aged children who may be returning to sport, managing pain, or recovering from surgery

Early intervention can make a big difference. Our physiotherapists create age-appropriate, play-based programs tailored to each child’s needs, helping them build strength, coordination, and confidence—right from the start.
