Baby Physiotherapy

When a baby is struggling to reach milestones it can be for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's as simple as constipation, upset tummy, teething, or just personality! Other times it can be caused by a weakness, tightness, or even lip/tongue ties. Seeing a baby physio can be as simple as getting advice on how to play, hold, or support your babies development towards milestones. Or we can get a bit more complex offering standardised assessments to see where you baby is at, what's holding them back, and how to get them moving!

Appointments for
Baby Physiotherapy

What your appointment will look like:

  • We start off with a quick discussion about your concerns and how we can help
  • We then move to an observational assessment. We want to see what your baby is able to do on their own! Plus they get to relax and play for a few minutes while they warm up to the environment
  • After this we do our physical assessment. We will help your baby through a few positions to see whats holding them back.
  • Finally, we give strategies! We may offer stretches, strengthening exercises, play based activities, positioning/handling techniques, and more.
