Advantage Healthcare & Physiotherapy, an allied health clinic in Wynnum, QLD, Australia has expanded its services to meet the demand for Paediatric Physiotherapy. Advantage Healthcare has two very experienced physiotherapists in Jenny Kim and Amie Rice Mooyman who have been treating increasing numbers of children in the Bayside area. This demand has caused the clinic to evolve and design a specific area to help these children reach their full potential.
Paediatric physiotherapists are specialised clinicians who focus their treatments on children between the ages of zero and sixteen. They treat children with developmental delays, lacking coordination, children who might come across as a little clumsy or are not quite keeping up with their friends during play time. They also play an integral part in the development of children with more advanced conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism or development issues due to a premature birth. Some parents may find their children are toe walking, or perhaps are walking bow legged, giving them a trigger that they may need to see a physiotherapist. Paediatric physios also treat children who are suffering from general musculoskeletal conditions such as torticollis (wry neck) or growing pains.
Advantage Healthcare has identified the lack of these services for children in the Wynnum, Bayside area and have created a special treatment area for these children. This area is full of specialised equipment, designed to enhance the development of these children. Due to the plasticity of a child’s brain, they are able to learn and develop new ways to improve. As learning is multifaceted to get the most out of the treatments, the physiotherapists focus on all areas of development including sensory, cognitive, language and social/emotional developmental training.
Treatment for children can also be fun, with play therapy being a clever way to help children continue their development in the clinic and at home.
Advantage Healthcare is also a registered provider of physiotherapy through the NDIS (National Disability and Insurance Scheme). The NDIS is an independent statutory agency whose role is to support hundreds of thousands of Australians with a significant and permanent disability. Being privileged to be given registration status under the NDIS is testament to all the hard work the team at Advantage Healthcare have been doing over the years. This allows the children of Wynnum Paediatric Physiotherapy with significant disabilities an avenue to receive government funded treatments.
