Like you we are passionate about providing the most effective therapy for your child. We want them to learn day to day functional activities so they can participate in life at home, school, and in the community. To give them more opportunities and choices.
We offer Land based Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy (OT) sessions in Mt Barker, Murray Bridge, Aldinga, Willunga, Victor Harbour and surrounding areas.
Experience tells us that our treatment sessions are most effective when your child is relaxed and having fun. Familiar surroundings help a lot so we come to your home, or their childcare, kindergarten, school, or sports club.
Whatever works for your child!
We focus on helping your child participate in their day to day functional activities: moving around, getting dressed, sitting steady at their school desk, playing at lunchtime, joining in sport and going along for family walks and bike rides
We can also help your child achieve their sporting, dancing or gymnastic goals by working on strength, co-ordination and injury prevention.
The huge milestones, and the tiny steps along the way. Our unique goal oriented programs involve the multidisciplinary team in a focused approach to goal achievement.
Your child's first visit will involve an detailed look at their current strengths and identify which skills they need help with. Next we’ll discuss what you are wanting your child to achieve from their Physiotherapy and OT sessions and develop a goal focused treatment plan to be provided by your team of therapists. We’ll break down those big goals into achievable steps so you’ll both be able to really see the progress that is being made.
Why not try a different way?
Our unique ‘practice makes permanent’ program provides daily visits to intensively work on skills and reach goals sooner. This service is perfect for learning new motor skills or self care skills like potty training and dressing.
Our services include completing initial assessments, NDIS reports, rehabilitation, facilitating walking and running patterns, developing play and gross motor skills.
We can help children with a wide range of conditions including
cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, aspergers, developmental delay, tourettes, down Syndrome, dysgraphia, orthopaedic conditions, motor control or perception deficits, dyslexia,and auditory processing disorder.
Our therapists will provide all the physio and occupational therapy your child requires.
However we believe it is vital our work is coordinated with the other therapists your child will see. That's why we have formed partnerships with providers of other therapies such as speech and psychology.
Also known as hydrotherapy, this is physiotherapy performed in warm water. We use the properties of the water and a variety of treatments to help children gain the skills they will need in their day to day lives.
We have a strong focus on safe swim behaviours and believe helping children to become safer around water is an important part of Australian childhood. We often use the practise of water safety skills to work towards a child's functional land goals.
"With weekly physio sessions for my 9 year old boy, we are seeing a massive improvement in his overall health. I highly recommend trusting Kelly with your child's needs and wellbeing."
