I am a mobile paediatric Physiotherapist with my masters in sports medicine with 25 years experience in the rehabilitation, paediatrics, disability and aged care sector working with all patients from children to the elderly. Specialising in paediatric Physiotherapy, I utilise mainly play and sensory-based techniques as well as hydrotherapy with an ND affirming, individualised approach. I offer ful
l assessments and reports. I utilise home based therapy and well as hydrotherapy and am a qualified swimming coach for children with special needs to develop water safety skills up to swimming. I can also provide a Telehealth service for those that are either very remote or find face to face therapy difficult. I travel over greater south-east Queensland treating patients with quite varied and often complex conditions from babies to young adults. Treatment is guided by clinical assessment with due consideration to underlying diagnosis, the findings of other therapists and the goals and interests of the client. In this initial assessment I identify areas needing strengthening or improved function/ coordination in any way. There are many ways to achieve the same end goal, which will differ based on what motivates and interest my patients. Some patients benefit mainly from hydrotherapy and others from a play-based program that we vary as their interest varies and others benefit from a combination. Some older clients may benefit more from a sport-based or gym-like program. Either way, the goal is to keep Physiotherapy fun and not just another thing they need to endure. If you are interested, send me a message and I’ll see what I can do.
