What are you noticing?

Choose the group that feels closest to your concern. Children may fit more than one area, and a pediatric assessment looks at the whole child—not only one symptom.

Delayed Gross Motor Skills

Support when sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, or other large movement skills are developing later than expected.

Difficulty Running or Jumping

A child may avoid, struggle with, or tire quickly during age-appropriate movement activities and active play.

Difficulty With Stairs or Climbing

Challenges using stairs, playground equipment, getting on and off the floor, or exploring the environment.

Frequent Falls or Clumsiness

Falling more often than peers, bumping into objects, or appearing unsure during everyday movement.

Balance Difficulties

Challenges standing on one foot, navigating uneven surfaces, changing direction, or participating in active play.

Developmental Coordination Disorder

Movement and coordination challenges that can affect play, school participation, self-care, and physical confidence.

Toe Walking

Walking frequently on the toes or having difficulty bringing the heels down during standing and walking.

In-Toeing or Out-Toeing

Feet turning inward or outward during walking, with or without tripping, fatigue, or participation concerns.

Flat Feet or Walking Changes

Concerns about foot posture, unusual walking patterns, asymmetry, or discomfort during mobility.

Cerebral Palsy

Physiotherapy support for posture, mobility, strength, movement options, participation, and functional independence.

Neuromuscular Conditions

Individualized support for movement, positioning, strength, mobility, energy use, and participation in daily life.

Neurological Movement Challenges

Movement differences related to the nervous system that affect balance, coordination, posture, or motor development.

Pain is changing how you move.

Beyond the diagnosis

We treat the child, not a label.

A diagnosis can guide care, but it does not define your child’s abilities, goals, or potential.

Pediatric physiotherapy focuses on meaningful function: how your child moves, plays, participates, and feels in everyday life.

Goals shaped around your child and family

Play-based and developmentally appropriate care

Practical strategies for everyday routines

Collaboration with families and care teams

02

Explore through movement.

The physiotherapist observes play and functional activities while assessing posture, balance, coordination, strength, and mobility.

03

Build the right plan.

Your family receives clear next steps and an individualized program designed around meaningful goals.

Do I need a doctor referral to book?

No. Most patients self-refer. A referral is only required if your insurance plan specifically asks for one — we can let you know when you book.

Does my child need a diagnosis before seeing a pediatric physiotherapist?

No. Families can seek an assessment because of a movement, coordination, walking, pain, or participation concern even when there is no formal diagnosis.

What if my child’s concern is not listed?

This page highlights common concerns rather than every possible condition. Contact the clinic and describe what you are noticing so the team can help determine whether pediatric physiotherapy is an appropriate next step.

How do I know whether my child’s development is delayed?

Children develop at different rates. If you have concerns about movement milestones, repeated difficulty with physical activities, or a change in function, an assessment can provide individualized guidance.

What happens during a pediatric assessment?

The physiotherapist learns about your concerns and goals, observes how your child moves during play and functional activities, and assesses relevant posture, balance, coordination, strength, walking, and mobility skills.

Will we receive activities to practise at home?

When appropriate, families receive practical activities and strategies that can be incorporated into everyday routines to support therapy goals.
