At Active Answers Health in Seaforth, we believe every child deserves to move confidently, grow strong, and enjoy being active — free from pain or injury. Whether your child has a specific injury, postural concern, or just needs help building a strong foundation for sport and life, our children’s physiotherapy and teen strength classes are designed to help them thrive.
In this blog, we answer the most common questions local families ask about physio for kids and teens — so you know what to expect, when to seek help, and how to give your child the best possible care.
What is Physiotherapy for Kids?
Children’s physiotherapy is specialised support for kids who are experiencing pain, movement difficulties, or developmental challenges. Our team works one-on-one with children aged 3 and above to:
Manage pain or injury (e.g. Sever’s, Osgood-Schlatter, growing pains)
Improve posture and muscle strength
Help with motor skill development or coordination issues
Rehabilitate after fractures or sports injuries
Support active kids through growth spurts
We create fun, engaging, age-appropriate programs to help kids feel confident in their bodies while working towards specific goals.
When Should I Take My Child to a Physio?
Some signs your child might benefit from physiotherapy include:
Complaints of persistent pain (especially in knees, feet, back or shoulders)
Trouble keeping up with their peers in sport or physical play
Limping, awkward walking/running style, or poor balance
Difficulty with posture, slouching or “w-sitting”
Recurrent injuries or slow healing after sport
You don’t need a referral to see a physio — simply book an appointment online.
What Happens During a Children’s Physio Session?
At our Seaforth clinic, our physiotherapists take the time to understand your child’s specific needs. A typical 1:1 consult includes:
Thorough assessment of movement, strength and biomechanics
Hands-on treatment (if needed)
Clear education for both child and parent
Customised home exercises that fit your routine
Reassessment and progress tracking over time
We also coordinate with your GP, paediatrician, or coach if required.
Do You Run Group Classes for Teens?
Yes! Our Teen Strength & Conditioning Classes are ideal for adolescents who want to:
Build strength safely and effectively
Prevent sport-related injuries
Improve posture, coordination, and control
Train in a small, supportive environment
Led by physiotherapists, this class is perfect for teens aged 12–17 and is especially beneficial for those starting or returning to sport, experiencing growing pains, or managing hypermobility.
