Where movement takes root and little ones grow strong.
Gentle, expert physiotherapy for kids of all abilities, led by Hannah Healey.
Boutique kids’ physiotherapy clinic in Castle Hill, led by Hannah Healey.
Helping little ones grow, step by step.
Paediatric physiotherapy builds on the scientific notion of Nature vs Nurture. Every child’s story is shaped by both their genes (nature) and the world around them (nurture). While biology may set the starting point, the right environment, support, and encouragement can change the path ahead. That is the beauty of early intervention.
At Jacaranda Kids, our Castle Hill paediatric physiotherapy clinic is kids-only, giving little ones the best possible start. We know that physiotherapy can absolutely transform a child’s future. With the right mix of care, expertise, and playful motivation, we help kids grow stronger, more confident, and ready to thrive. Children can master new skills from crawling and walking to riding a bike or joining a sport - and discover that they are capable of so much more than they first believed.

No, you don’t need a referral to see a physiotherapist - we are often parents’ first point of call to assess your child’s body, walking or motor skills. If you have been referred from a paediatrician, GP or other allied health professional, please bring this to your appointment to help us better direct your care.
If you are wondering if your child needs physio or are not quite sure, schedule a free 10 minute intake call with our physio to decide if we are the right fit for your child.
