Children's Physio FAQs
What should we bring to the first appointment?
Please bring any relevant medical reports, comfortable clothing for your child, and their favorite toy if it helps them feel at ease during the assessment.
How long does a typical session last?
Initial assessments usually take 30 minutes to ensure a thorough evaluation. Follow-up treatment sessions are typically 30 minutes depending on your child's specific needs.
Do I need a GP referral for my child?
No, you can book directly with us as private patients. However, if you are planning to use health insurance, we recommend checking if your provider requires a GP referral first.
At what age can children start physiotherapy?
We support children at all stages of development, from newborns with movement concerns to adolescents recovering from sports-related injuries or posture issues.
Will I be in the room during the treatment?
Yes, we highly encourage parents or guardians to stay. It helps the child feel secure and allows us to demonstrate exercises you can support them with at home.
