Paediatric Services

Rise Physio provides assessment and intervention to help children with their mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and core stability. We help infants with attaining early developmental skills and help children with motor planning and building fundamental gross motor skills. They can also help with improving endurance, conditioning, physical activity, fitness and sport skill development.

Some of the wide variety of paediatric conditions that we can help with include:

• Neurological conditions such as DCD (developmental coordination disorder), cerebral palsy, neuromuscular disorders, acquired brain injury
• Clicky hips
• Flat Feet, Talipes or metatarsus adductus
• Hypotonia
