Paediatric Physiotherapists are movement specialists for babies, children and adolescents. Our Physiotherapists can help your child attain new gross motor skills to allow them to be more independent and thrive in everyday life. To improve your child’s ability to move our Physiotherapists will use a comprehensive treatment program including stretching, strengthening, gait training, posture, balance, vestibular retraining, education and most importantly play!

Butterfly’s Physiotherapists are highly skilled professionals that use standardized outcome measures to assess your child’s current level of function, strengths and challenges to overcome. At Butterfly, we know that each child is unique and pride ourselves on using creative interventions to engage children in rehabilitation activities that are fun and functional.  Together with the child and family in mind, we create individualized treatment programs to help your child “Spread their wings!”
