Physiotherapy
At Therapies For Kids, we provide fun and effective children’s physiotherapy in Sydney for kids of all ages.
As a parent, you want the best for your child’s health and well-being. Sometimes, children face disabilities, physical challenges or developmental delays that require specialised care. Through targeted intervention and exercises, our physiotherapy services help children manage disabilities, overcome physical challenges and improve their overall physical functions. Paediatric physiotherapy can also help your child enhance physical and motor skills, balance, coordination and strength.
We believe children respond best to structured, targeted therapy in a play-based environment. That’s why we aim to keep your child’s therapy as fun, positive and rewarding as possible, helping your little one stay motivated and positive throughout their treatment.
As part of your child’s physiotherapy treatment, we’ll provide education, guidance, and support for you to continue therapy at home. This partnership ensures your child receives consistent care and support, paving the way for a brighter, healthier future.

FAQs about children’s physiotherapy
Are you an NDIS provider?
Yes, we are a registered NDIS provider and registered Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) Provider and can work directly with you to provide a smooth, hassle-free experience. Our Sydney child physiotherapists can help you navigate the NDIS or suggest additional treatments to help your child reach their therapy goals. We can also help determine if your child is eligible for NDIS funding through an initial assessment and can provide supporting documents or letters of referral for your application.
For more information, contact our team online or call us at (02) 9519 0966.
What should I bring to my child’s initial appointment?
Please bring any relevant medical reports or information from your child’s healthcare providers, including their general practitioner or paediatrician. If your child is an NDIS participant, bringing a copy of their NDIS plan goals can also be beneficial for the assessment process.
Children’s physiotherapy sessions are tailored to each child’s unique requirements and preferences. The sessions are designed to be interactive and enjoyable, incorporating play-based activities and exercises. We’ll provide everything you need for your session, but feel free to bring any toys or equipment that might be useful for our session.
What should I expect at my initial consultation?
During our first session, your physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of your child’s physical abilities, movement patterns and any areas of concern. This involves observing your child’s movements, assessing their muscle strength and flexibility, and identifying any underlying issues. We’ll also gather information about your child’s medical history, concerns and goals.
Based on the assessment findings, we’ll work closely with you to set specific goals for your child’s treatment. These goals may include improving motor skills, increasing strength and flexibility, enhancing balance and coordination, and reducing pain or discomfort. We’ll then develop a tailored treatment plan to help your child achieve these goals.
How do I know if physiotherapy is right for my child?

Can my child’s treatment plan be adjusted if their condition changes?
