Our Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, focuses on improving a person’s physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. It involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of infants, children, and adolescents with various physical challenges or developmental delays. The goal of physiotherapy is to improve your child’s movement abilities, promote independence, enhance motor skills, and maximise overall quality of life.
Physiotherapists, or Physical Therapists, are licensed healthcare professionals who have undergone specialised training in anatomy, physiology, and the principles of movement and rehabilitation. At Ohana Therapy, we understand that every child is unique, and we believe in providing individualised care to address their specific needs. Our team consists of highly skilled and experienced paediatric physiotherapists who are passionate about helping children reach their full potential. We take a family-centred approach, working closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that each child receives the support they need to thrive.
