Our Approach to Helping Liverpool Children with Physiotherapy

Rectangle 226021

Our paediatric physiotherapists offer a comprehensive range of services designed to support your child’s physical development and well-being. 

We tailor each service to meet the unique needs of your child, ensuring they receive the best possible care. These include:

Facilitate Gross Motor Development

Our paediatric physiotherapists are dedicated to enhancing your child’s gross motor skills, such as sitting, crawling, walking, and running. By using evidence-based techniques and play-based activities, we help children develop the strength, coordination, and balance needed to perform these essential movements confidently, supporting their overall physical development.

We design customised stretching and strengthening programs tailored to your child’s specific needs. These programs focus on improving flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance, which are crucial for better mobility and posture. Our goal is to help your child build the physical foundation necessary for daily activities and participation in play.

Our postural retraining and motor control sessions aim to correct and enhance your child’s posture, ensuring proper alignment and movement patterns. Through targeted exercises and guidance, we work on improving their motor control, helping them maintain stability and efficiency in their movements, which is vital for their overall health and development.

Our team focuses on enhancing your child’s physical skills, such as balance, coordination, and agility. Through targeted exercises and engaging activities, we help children build the physical abilities needed to navigate their environments confidently and participate in everyday tasks, sports, and play activities.

We offer task-specific training tailored to your child’s individual goals, whether it’s learning to ride a bike, improving handwriting, or mastering a new skill. By breaking down tasks into manageable steps and providing consistent guidance, we help children achieve success in their daily activities and become more independent.

We evaluate and recommend the best mobility aids and equipment to enhance each child’s independence. This includes devices such as walkers, wheelchairs, or standing frames, all tailored to meet individual needs. Our goal is to improve mobility and autonomy, enabling your child to move more freely and confidently in various environments.

We specialise in prescribing Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFOs) and other orthotic devices that provide crucial support for children with mobility challenges. These custom-made orthotics help improve foot alignment, stability, and walking patterns, allowing your child to move more efficiently and with greater comfort. We aim to enhance your child’s independence and overall quality of life.

Our serial casting and splinting services are designed to address muscle tightness, joint contractures, and positioning issues. By gradually stretching muscles and improving joint alignment, we help children gain a better range of motion and functional mobility. This non-invasive approach supports long-term improvements in your child’s physical abilities.

We provide tailored support to help children participate in sport and leisure activities. By working on specific physical skills and adapting activities as needed, we ensure your child can enjoy and benefit from being active. Our aim is to boost their confidence, social interaction, and overall well-being through active participation.

We assist in modifying tasks to suit your child’s unique abilities, ensuring they can participate in everyday activities with ease. By adapting activities and environments, we help children achieve success and independence in tasks that might otherwise be challenging. Our goal is to empower your child to engage fully in their daily routines and recreational activities.

We believe in empowering parents through coaching and education. Our physiotherapists provide parents with the knowledge and skills they need to support their child’s physical development at home. This includes guidance on exercises, positioning, and strategies to enhance your child’s progress between therapy sessions.

Our pain management services are tailored to address any discomfort or pain your child may experience. Through a combination of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and other non-invasive techniques, we aim to reduce pain and improve your child’s overall comfort and quality of life. We focus on creating a pain-free environment that supports your child’s active participation in therapy and daily activities.

We’re dedicated to empowering your child through expert physiotherapy services tailored to their needs. 

If you’d like to learn more, don’t hesitate to give us a call on (02) 9602 3377 or via our online contact form.

We’re here to chat about how we can best support your child’s journey toward greater independence and confidence.

Our Child-Focused Physiotherapy Treatment Techniques

Rectangle 224@2x
L 01
L 02

We utilise a variety of specialised physiotherapy techniques to support your child’s physical development and well-being. 

Each technique is carefully chosen to match your child’s unique needs, helping them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. These include:

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is provided by our expert physiotherapists to enhance motor control and strength in children. This therapy uses specific exercises and equipment to target and activate muscles, promoting better functional movements. DMI is particularly beneficial for children with movement disorders, helping them achieve greater mobility and independence through structured, progressive exercises.

The Pediasuit therapy, offered by our skilled team, utilises a specially designed suit to support and align your child’s body. This external support improves movement patterns, strength, and coordination, making it particularly effective for children with neurological conditions. The Pediasuit helps facilitate correct postural alignment, encouraging more efficient motor function and overall physical development.

Our Spider-Cage Therapy involves using a specialised “spider cage” frame equipped with elastic bungee cords. These cords provide support and resistance, allowing children to perform exercises in a controlled, safe environment. This therapy aims to improve strength, balance, coordination, and spatial awareness, particularly benefiting children with neurological and developmental conditions. The spider cage allows for customised exercises tailored to your child’s needs, promoting progress in an engaging manner.

Hydrotherapy is delivered by our experienced physiotherapists in a warm, supportive water environment. This technique uses the buoyancy and resistance of water to help children improve their strength, flexibility, and coordination. Hydrotherapy is particularly beneficial for children with mobility challenges, as it reduces the impact on joints while promoting safe, effective movement. The water provides a soothing environment that encourages participation and progress in physical therapy.

Our Garment Therapy involves the use of specially designed therapeutic clothing that supports and stabilises your child’s body. These garments are tailored to provide compression and alignment, helping improve posture, balance, and muscle function. Garment Therapy is particularly effective for children with neurological conditions, aiding in the development of proper movement patterns and enhancing overall physical function.

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) therapy is a technique used by our physiotherapists to stimulate muscle contractions and improve strength and coordination. The therapy involves your child standing, sitting, or lying on a vibrating platform, which activates muscles throughout the body. WBV is particularly beneficial for children with limited mobility, as it promotes muscle engagement and circulation in a gentle, non-invasive way.

Our Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) therapy uses small electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions, helping to strengthen weak muscles and improve motor control. This technique is especially beneficial for children with muscle weakness or neurological conditions, as it enhances muscle function and promotes better movement patterns. EMS is a non-invasive, targeted approach that supports your child’s overall physical development.

Our physiotherapists provide specialised care before and after Botox injections to maximise the benefits of this treatment. Pre-Botox interventions focus on preparing muscles for the procedure, while post-Botox rehabilitation helps maintain and improve muscle strength and function. These interventions are particularly helpful for children with spasticity or movement disorders, ensuring they achieve the best possible outcomes from Botox therapy.

Our pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation services are designed to support your child throughout their surgical journey. Before surgery, we work to strengthen muscles and improve mobility, preparing your child for the procedure. After surgery, we focus on recovery, helping your child regain strength, mobility, and function. Our goal is to ensure a smooth, successful recovery and to help your child return to their daily activities as quickly and safely as possible.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to start therapy?

The best time to start therapy is when you notice any developmental delays or concerns in your child. Early intervention is crucial as it can significantly improve the effectiveness of the treatment, helping your child achieve the best possible outcomes.

The frequency of therapy sessions typically depends on your child’s specific needs and goals during the initial assessment. Most children benefit from weekly sessions, but we may suggest more or fewer visits based on your child’s progress.

Put simply, the greater your involvement is in therapy, the quicker your child will gain results. For this reason, we only work with families actively involved in their child’s therapy. This includes collaborating to establish goals, participating in therapy sessions, completing practice between sessions and providing feedback to your therapist about progress between sessions.

Our team conducts comprehensive assessments to understand each child’s strengths and challenges. Based on these assessments, we develop individualised therapy plans that are continually adapted to reflect progress and changing needs.

You can contact our clinic directly or via email to discuss your child’s needs. Our reception team will ask quick questions about your child to determine the next steps required.

Therapy sessions are primarily completed in our clinic; however, we occasionally recommend contacting the school or child care to observe your child and consult with the teachers regarding valuable strategies to promote success in the classroom or playground. Occasionally, ongoing sessions are suggested; however, this is based on clinical need rather than convenience.
