Paediatric Physio at Advantage Healthcare

At Advantage Healthcare & Physiotherapy, our Brisbane paediatric physiotherapist combines thorough assessment with a practical, family-friendly approach. We look beyond the symptom to understand what’s driving the difficulty, whether it’s strength, motor control, balance, mobility, endurance or coordination. From there, we build a clear plan with achievable milestones, so you know what progress looks like and how we’ll get there.

Appointments are tailored to your child’s age and personality. For younger kids this may be play-based movement training, while older kids and teens often do more structured strength, control and return-to-sport work. You’ll leave with clear take-home guidance, including a simple home program and tips to support your child’s progress in everyday settings like school, playgrounds and sport.

Children's Physiotherapy

Baby Physio

Paediatric physiotherapists play an important part in the early development years of babies. Conditions treated early can have positive effects for the rest of their childhood. A paediatric physio works with babies treating multiple conditions including:

Developmental delay
Plagiocephaly
Torticollis (wry neck)
Brachial plexus palsy
Foot deformities
Prematurity

Child Physio

When working with children paediatric physiotherapists have to consider the impact of their conditions and their integration with schooling, sports and social activities. Some conditions specific to children that we treat include:

Transition to school
Developmental delay (DCD/"clumsy child"),
Cerebral Palsy
Autism
Musculoskeletal injuries

Teenager Physio

As children grow older, they become more adventurous and often end up with injuries while playing with their friends, playing sports or just looking to integrate with their peers. They may try to play like an adult however their growing bodies still have some limitations. A paediatric physio treats these conditions and injuries carefully, keeping close attention to these issues such as:

Growth plate injuries
Paediatric musculoskeletal injuries
Scoliosis
Autism
