Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy services at Aruma

At Aruma (formerly House with No Steps and The Tipping Foundation) we offer physiotherapy as part Early Childhood Intervention (ECI). Our physiotherapist will work hand in hand with you and your family to really get to know what you need.

With tailored exercises and programs, we will help to track and improve your child’s movement and development and help them achieve their goals.

How can Physiotherapy help my child?

Every child is unique, and their disabilities vary. Some kids may have a physical disability or limited mobility whilst others may have sensory challenges.

These could include:

• Gross motor development delays
• Fine motor difficulties
• Muscular conditions
• Other neurological conditions.

Either way, physiotherapy can help!

Our therapists will do a physical assessment of your child and provide a program of therapy or exercise rehabilitation personalised for them. Which could also cover mobility aids and equipment recommendations.

Benefits include:

• Better mobility and control
• Increased hand-eye coordination
• Relaxation and stress release
• Improved balance and coordination
• More physical activity, movement and endurance
• Self-confidence and connection
• Greater independence.
