Physio for Kids
Our kids physiotherapists will make your child feel comfortable and will explain injuries and treatment options in a calm and caring way. Parents are always included in the consultation to ensure your child feels safe. Not sure what to do with your other kids? They are more than welcome in the physio room with you or if you prefer, our friendly receptionists would be happy to supervise them. We usually find they are more interested in the big screen TV.
Common Kids Injuries
Physio for kids most commonly involves treating growing pains or growing related injuries. These issues usually result from the child’s bone growth exceeding their muscular growth. However, children are prone to general injuries and sports injuries just like the rest of us. Posture pain in kids is also becoming very common with the explosion of technology.
See one of our kids physios for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan if you suspect your child has one of the following issues:
- Growing pains or growing related injuries
- Sever’s Disease (heel pain)
- Osgood Schlatter’s Disease (knee pain)
- Sinding Larsen Johansson’s Disease (knee pain)
- Perthes Disease (hip pain)
- Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (hip pain)
- Growth plate injuries
- Kid’s sports injuries
- Hypermobility in kids
- Suspected fractures
