Our physiotherapy sessions at The Milestone Physio are designed to be fun, engaging, and tailored to your child’s unique needs and interests. Using play-based activities and evidence-informed techniques, we work on improving strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, and gross motor skills in a way that feels like natural play, not therapy.
Each session is personalised to focus on your child’s specific goals, whether that’s learning to ride a bike, improving posture, or building endurance for daily activities. We also offer home and school visits within Penrith and surrounding areas to provide support in familiar environments. Families stay involved through regular updates, guidance, and home strategies to ensure progress continues between sessions. Together, we celebrate every milestone — big or small!
A physiotherapy assessment at The Milestone Physio is a comprehensive, play-based evaluation tailored to your child’s age and needs. It typically begins with a discussion about your child’s medical history, developmental milestones, current concerns, and your goals as a parent or caregiver.
From there, we assess a range of physical skills depending on your child’s age — this may include tummy time and rolling for babies, sitting and crawling for toddlers, or walking, running, jumping, and balance for older children. We also look at muscle tone, strength, range of motion, posture, coordination, and motor planning. All assessments are done in a calm, supportive environment using games, toys, and movement activities to keep your child engaged. The outcome is a clear understanding of where your child is at physically with an individualised report and plan to support their development through fun, goal-driven therapy
We believe parents and caregivers play a fundamental role in a child's therapy journey. That's why parent education is a core part of what we do. We take the time to explain your child's needs, demonstrate strategies, and provide practical, easy to follow exercises you can use at home.
We empower families with knowledge and tools to support progress beyond the physiotherapy session. From play ideas to managing challenges in everyday routines. We also offer access to resources and handouts so you feel confident, informed and never alone in your journey.
