Paediatric Physiotherapy in Maylands
Care to help your child move and develop optimally
Paediatric physiotherapy focuses on the function of muscles, joints, nerves and movement patterns that influence how your child grows and develops.
Whether you've noticed a developmental concern, your GP has flagged something, or your child is simply in pain. Kaitlin provides a thorough, gentle assessment and a clear plan forward. We take the time to listen to both you and your child, explain everything clearly, and involve your family every step of the way.
Our approach is personalised, play-based where appropriate, individualised and grounded in current evidence so your child isn't just treated, they're empowered to move with confidence.
We collaborate with multiple different allied health providers, paediatricians, GPs and specialists to ensure our care is comprehensive and in the best interest of your child’s health and wellbeing

How we help your child
Thorough Assessment
A detailed history and physical assessment, understanding your child's development, goals and daily life — with parents included throughout.
Hands-On Therapy
Gentle soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation and manual techniques tailored to children — safe, age-appropriate and always explained before we begin.
Exercise & Movement Programs
Tailored home exercise programs using play-based activities for younger children and structured rehabilitation for older kids and teens.
Developmental & Milestone Support
Targeted strategies to support rolling, sitting, walking, balance and coordination — with clear guidance for parents on how to help at home between sessions.
Clinical Pilates (school-age & teens)
Clinical Pilates is a great way to build postural strength and stability in older children and teenagers. We offer both 1-on-1 and group class options.
Why Paediatric Physiotherapy is Different
Children's bodies aren't simply smaller versions of adult bodies they're constantly growing, developing and changing. That means their muscles, bones and nervous systems have very different needs, and treatment needs to reflect that.
Kaitlin brings specialist knowledge of paediatric development to every appointment, using techniques specifically suited to where your child is at whether that's a newborn, a toddler taking their first steps, or a teenager managing a sports injury.
Why early intervention matters
Children's physiotherapy isn't just about treating what's already causing a problem. It's about spotting things early before they become bigger issues.
Whether it's a motor delay, a muscular imbalance or a posture concern that's crept in at school, early support can make a significant difference. Addressing these things at the right time helps your child reach their developmental milestones, move well, and build a strong foundation for lifelong physical health.
