Fees and funding options

Movement Matters Physiotherapy for Children is a home and community based service for children from birth to 18 years of age. We have several locations across Adelaide, allowing us to conveniently come to you as we believe this achieves the best results for your child. We focus on the growth and development of your child’s movement skills. We work closely with each family to achieve the goals and aspirations you have for your child. We provide individualised assessments, comprehensive management and treatment, and ongoing therapy programs tailored to suit your child’s needs.

With your consent, we can ensure good communication and teamwork by liaising and working with other allied health professionals in the trans-disciplinary team (speech pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists etc), your doctor, paediatrician, specialist, child care centre, pre-school, or schools involved with you and your child.

A referral is welcomed but is not necessary for your child to be seen by one of our physiotherapists.
