Children’s Physiotherapy
Free Physio for Kids until the end of the September holidays!
At Graceville Physio, we’re happy to announce our new initiative, the The ‘Free Physio for Kids’ program. This offer will run for the next 3 months, up to and including the September school holidays.
It’s as simple as when an adult comes in for any type of physio or remedial massage appointment at Graceville Physio they can receive a free physio consultation for any of their kids (up to and including 17 year olds)!
This will make it easier for families to access treatment and advice for their kids. It’s a great opportunity for parents to get any niggling issues checked out, or address any concerns that often arise as kids grow and develop – so book today!
What’s the difference between children’s physiotherapy and paediatric physiotherapy?
There are a number of key differences between children’s physiotherapy and paediatric physiotherapy. The most notable is that paediatric physiotherapy must only be performed by a qualified specialist. This takes additional training after you have already become a qualified physiotherapist.
Additionally, a children’s physiotherapist places a larger focus on treating issues that arise from children’s sport as well as any issues that may impact their development.
