We can provide a range of services that assist children and families to build their skills and address any concerns they may have around a range of physical and/or developmental issues.
Located at the Adelaide University City West campus clinic and our community clinic in Elizabeth South, we offer individual physiotherapy sessions to support the development of children of all ages at an affordable price.
Children will improve areas such as movement skills, balance, strength, flexibility, coordination and play/sport skills. We work together with children and families to target specific goals over a 5-week block.
Please note there may be a wait list for services. Children who are not already receiving services from a physiotherapist will be given priority.
