Where do I start?
Prior to entry into our programs, your child will be required to attend a 60 minute physiotherapy assessment. All children are formally assessed using an age standardised movement assessment including gross motor skills, strength and fitness variables. This assessment can be scheduled at a variety of times throughout the week, including after school hours and on the weekend.
Your child will then commence either an individual or group program based on assessment findings and parent/child preference.
Groups cater to a variety of ages and athletic abilities, from beginners to elite athletes.
All sessions are claimable on private health insurance.
