Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy provides intervention to infants and children who have delayed and/or disordered development in the sensorimotor, musculoskeletal and self-care areas. The role of Physiotherapy input at the Champion Centre is to maximise the child's physical potential and is delivered within a partnership with the primary caregiver. This involves hands on therapy with each child in their regular session; modelling, demonstrating, and explaining to parents how to enhance their child’s physical development through play and appropriate activities.  In addition Physiotherapists at the Champion Centre work in collaboration with interdisciplinary team members acknowledging that  all areas of a child’s development (physical, emotional, social and cognitive) are inter-related and stimulated through play.
