Physiotherapy for Children & Teens
Sports, Orthopaedic & Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Tim provides physiotherapy for children and teenagers with selected musculoskeletal, orthopaedic and sports-related presentations. His focus is on assessment, rehabilitation and supporting a safe return to everyday activity, school sport and recreation.
Treatment is tailored to the child or teenager’s age, presentation, goals and stage of development, with clear communication throughout the rehabilitation process.
Common presentations may include:
- Sports injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Knee pain and knee injuries
- Ankle and foot injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Overuse-related presentations
- Post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation
- Musculoskeletal pain and movement concerns
- Return-to-sport rehabilitation
What may physiotherapy involve?
Depending on the presentation, management may include education, exercise rehabilitation, strength and mobility work, activity modification and a gradual return to sport or normal activity.
A Practical, Individual Approach
Tim works with each young person and their parent or caregiver to understand the issue, discuss goals and develop a rehabilitation plan suited to their needs.
Where appropriate, physiotherapy may be coordinated with the child’s GP, specialist, coach or other healthcare professionals.
Tim currently consults at Premium Physio & Health in Kallangur.
