Physiotherapy offers tailored care to nurture your child’s development.
At Kinder Allied Health, we understand the unique needs of each child we serve. Whether it’s assisting active kids in injury prevention or managing issues related to joints, muscles, or the nervous system, we provide comprehensive support.
Our approach extends beyond: treating acute injuries to enhancing movement patterns and addressing walking concerns. We specialise in correcting foot positioning, improving muscle tone, and fostering balance to support your child’s overall well-being.
From genetic and neurological disorders to scoliosis and autism, we’re here to guide your child through every stage of their growth and development journey.
Services We Provide For Your Child

Developmental Assessments And Treatment
We offer assessments to evaluate your child’s current developmental motor skills.
These assessments not only identify areas that could benefit from therapy but also pinpoint strengths that can be leveraged in treatment plans to support weaker areas.
Differences in Walking Patterns
If you’re worried about your child’s walking pattern or the alignment of their knees or feet, we’re here to assist you in identifying any concerns that may require attention.
Let us help you determine if there are steps that need to be taken to support your child’s well-being.
Foot Differences
Common foot differences can arise in newborns and children.If you’re worried about the position of your infant’s or child’s foot and its potential impact on their function, please schedule an appointment with us.
We’ll conduct a thorough assessment and provide personalised treatment recommendations.
Plagiocephaly (Asymmetrical Head Shape) And Torticollis
As your baby grows during pregnancy, space in the womb becomes limited. This can result in your baby adopting a prolonged position with their head pressed against the womb.
Because infants’ skulls are malleable, this pressure can lead to flattening on the skull and tightness in the neck muscles.
Paediatric Conditions/ Genetic & Neurodevelopmental Disorders/ Global Developmental Delays
We can assist in fostering skill development while minimising secondary changes and providing ongoing monitoring of your child’s current condition as needed.
Muskuloskeletal Releases and Manual Therapy
We provide specialised paediatric manual therapy, incorporating techniques like soft tissue release, joint mobilisations, and movement analysis.
Our assessments evaluate how your child’s movement patterns affect their body, enabling us to design play-based interventions to strengthen weaker areas.
Additionally, we offer manual releases to enhance range of motion and facilitate functional movements necessary for skill acquisition.
Hydrotherapy (Aquatic Physiotherapy)

Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI)
Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a manual therapy method aimed at facilitating children in attaining postural alignment, enhancing muscle control, refining balance, achieving functional movement patterns, and reaching gross motor milestones.
By stimulating neuroplasticity and fostering new brain connections, DMI facilitates rapid and enduring improvements, enabling children to learn new skills, achieve developmental milestones, and enhance their overall quality of life.
