So What Does Physiotherapy For Kids Look Like?
Meet our motor development specialists (we like to call them body movement wizards) who are transforming how kids experience the world through movement. Here on the Sunshine Coast and across regional Queensland – from Kilcoy to Bundaberg, Maryborough to Hervey Bay – our physios are passionate about helping children discover just how capable their bodies can be.
We believe every child is more than able to live a purposeful, meaningful and extraordinary life, and sometimes that journey starts with understanding how to move with confidence.
From supporting newly crawling babies to helping teens master their sporting goals, our paediatric Physiotherapists (working with kids from birth to 18 years) are experts in childhood movement and development. Based in Maroochydore but reaching families across Queensland, we specialise in everything from early developmental milestones to complex physical disabilities.
Developing functional motor patterns early isn’t just about movement – it’s foundational to how your child grows, learns, and experiences the world throughout their life.

Why should children see a Physiotherapist?
Our family-centred approach means we don’t just focus on the physical stuff – we look at how movement impacts every aspect of your child’s life. We create personalised strategies that work at home, at school, and in the community.
From targeted strengthening programs and postural support to equipment prescription and activity modifications, we make physical development both achievable and enjoyable.
We partner with parents every step of the way, building your confidence and understanding so you can support your child’s movement journey.
Feeling confident and comfortable in how your body moves and navigates your surrounding is an essential part of learning and growing throughout your life, particularly in childhood.
Working with More Than Able physiotherapists will help your child better understand how their body works and gives them access to things in their world.
As our little one’s brains are continuously learning and changing, developing the most functional motor patterns is foundational in their growth throughout their lifespan.

Our Process
Step One: Assessment
Where are we starting from?
The first appointment is about getting to know you and your child and finding out what matters to your family. Our therapists assess your child’s current abilities and develop an understanding of their strengths and difficulties.
Step Two: Setting Goals
Where are we going?
We are committed to collaborating with our clients, and their parents about what matters to them. Let’s dream up a future where they’re a ballet dancer, an independent adult, or an astronaut. As a team (yes, you’re on the team) we will break that down into small and achievable goals in the here and now that we can work towards in therapy.
Step Three: Therapy
How do we do this?
We know you’ve heard this before, but it’s important to know that therapy is a journey. Each team member has a role to play, and our therapists are in it with your family. Regular therapy sessions include a variety of dynamic and effective therapy approaches tailored to your child’s needs. This includes the creation of home programs and parent coaching.
Step Four: Review
How is it going?
Reflecting on what we are working on is an essential part of the process. We rely on parents collaborating with us, and honestly examining every aspect of the supports that are in place for their child in order for us to make changes as needed. We frequently check in on the progress of our specific and measurable therapy goals, and strive to create an opportunity to celebrate all the little milestones on the journey. We think of this step as the pit-stop, and we aren’t afraid to ask for directions if we’ve gotten a little waylaid.
