physio for kids & teens

Expert care for growing bodies

 

Helping Kids Stay Active & Injury-Free

Children and teenagers experience many of the same injuries as adults, but because their bodies are still growing, they face unique challenges. We provide specialised physiotherapy for children and adolescents, helping them recover from injuries, improve movement, and build resilience for lifelong health.

Common Injuries & Conditions We Treat

  • Growth plate injuries – Such as Sever’s disease (heel pain) & Osgood-Schlatter disease (knee pain).

  • Sporting injuries – Sprains, strains, ligament injuries, fractures, and overuse conditions.

  • Postural issues – Pain related to growth spurts, scoliosis, or coordination deficits.

  • Back & neck pain – Common in young athletes, dancers, or from carrying heavy school bags.

  • Joint hypermobility – Helping kids with "loose joints" prevent pain and injuries.

  • Rehabilitation after surgery or fractures – Guiding recovery with safe and effective exercises.

 

Why Kids Need a Different Approach

Kids and Teens aren’t just small adults—because their bodies are still developing, injuries affect them differently. For example:

  • Growth plate injuries and avulsion fractures can occur instead of ligament sprains

  • Rapid growth periods can contribute to injury

  • Developing neuromuscular coordination

  • Greenstick fractures rather than complete fractures

Our approach considers these differences to ensure the best recovery while supporting long-term movement and strength.

 

How We Help

  • Expert Assessment & Diagnosis – We identify the underlying cause of pain and discomfort.

  • Individualised Treatment Plans – Tailored exercises, hands-on therapy, and education for parents and kids.

  • Sports Performance & Injury Prevention – Helping young athletes return to play safely and avoid recurring injuries.

  • Education & Guidance – Teaching kids and parents how to manage injuries and prevent future problems.

 

If your child is experiencing pain or an injury, early intervention can make all the difference.
