A welcoming, play-based space for kids and their parents. We work with children and teenagers across orthopaedic rehabilitation, sports preparation, and early motor development — helping young bodies move well, recover fully, and build confidence along the way.
What’s covered
- Post-injury and post-surgery rehabilitation — fractures, orthopaedic surgeries, return to sport
- Core strength and sports preparation — for children and teens involved in organised sport
- FIFA 11+ for kids — evidence-based injury prevention warm-up program for young footballers
- Early stimulation for infants and toddlers — supporting motor development through play
- Motor skills development — sensorial, balance, and coordination skills for children with developmental delay or coordination concerns
- Nature play and canine play-therapy — Oscar, the family cobberdog and River Clinical therapy dog in training, may join sessions where appropriate
Common paediatric musculoskeletal presentations
Musculoskeletal conditions are common in children — studies show that the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in children aged 9–18 ranges between 4% and 40%. Physiotherapy can play a role in assessment, management, and guiding families through what to expect:
- A child who limps — there are many possible causes; a physiotherapy assessment can help clarify what’s happening and whether further investigation is needed
- Knocked knees — a physiotherapy assessment may be helpful if alignment is unilateral, associated with pain, or persists beyond eight years of age
- Toe walking — targeted stretching and functional strengthening can help improve gait patterns
- Talipes (clubfoot) — whether positional or congenital, physiotherapy can support gentle correction, parent education, and post-surgical rehabilitation
- Hypermobility — while hypermobility disorders can’t be diagnosed before skeletal maturity, physiotherapy can help manage symptoms, address fatigue and reduced stamina, and monitor joint range over time
