Please bring any your child in comfortable clothing, along with any orthotics they use.
Depending on your child’s age and their condition, we may include assessment of strength, flexibility, range of movement, balance and co-ordination. We will use play activities and games as part of the assessment and treatment to make it as much fun as possible.
