My dream is to help children develop their movement skills, build self-confidence in their physical abilities and in doing these two steps, support their participation in play, exploration, sport and whatever activities motivate them.

“My dream is that every child who comes to Kids Club for physio will get to say that they’ve had at least one positive experience with movement/physical activity. Developing movement skills is often key to supporting physical, mental and social wellbeing. I really do think even one positive experience can go a long way in terms of self-confidence, self-esteem, and willingness to try new things.”
Sandeep has been a physiotherapist since 2021. He has worked with children with developmental concerns, musculoskeletal and sporting injuries, respiratory/lung issues, and in rehab pre/post-surgery.
Sandeep thinks physiotherapy works best when he actively listens to your child. They are the expert of how they feel and what motivates them. By learning about these things, he hopes to create non-threatening opportunities for them to try slightly tricky tasks, and build handy new skills.
If you know any great local eateries, he will gratefully take recommendations. Discuss your pets to make him jealous (his dog lives in Queensland).
