Physiotherapy

As Physiotherapists, we use evidence-based assessment and therapy to support children’s movement, development, and participation in everyday activities.

Our interventions are tailored to each child’s needs, with the aim of improving strength, coordination, motor skills, and overall functional independence. We work closely with families to promote growth, confidence, and long-term wellbeing, using play-based, child-centred approaches that make therapy engaging, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate.

Our Physiotherapists are here to assist your child with:

Age-appropriate gross and fine motor skill development.
Motor coordination and balance for functional activities.
General fitness (strength, endurance and flexibility).
Independent mobility in all environments.
Developing coordination to facilitate participation in play and organised sports.
Managing pain or discomfort related to injury or surgery.

At ECM, we recognise the vital role that Physiotherapy plays in supporting overall wellbeing, through assessing, restoring, and enhancing movement to improve health, function, and overall quality of life.

Our team of Physiotherapists are dedicated to helping children achieve their functional goals through play-based therapy. Whether your child is delayed with milestones, recovering from an injury or experiencing mobility challenges, our personalised approach ensures you receive the support, guidance, and therapeutic intervention needed to improve daily living and long-term outcomes.

Our Physiotherapists can also collaborate with other members of the child’s team including those at ECM (e.g. occupational therapists, speech therapists, etc.) or externally (e.g. teachers, general practitioners, paediatricians etc.) to support the development of a holistic care approach.
