Where movement takes root and little ones grow strong.
Expert physio. Empowered Kids. Supported families.
Boutique kids’ physiotherapy clinic in Castle Hill
Early Intervention: Helping little ones grow, step by step.
We are a kids only clinic. Purpose built, friendly and welcoming for the whole family. We are a small team of experienced paediatric physio’s who truly care about providing evidence based and effective physio that helps your child develop.
We are called Jacaranda Kids because we believe early intervention is rooted in 'nature and nurture' - where a child's development is shaped by their own biological makeup (nature) and their environment and developmental opportunities (nurture). In physio, we use play based, engaging and structured therapy programs that build strength, balance, coordination and confidence to help your child thrive!
You can self-refer to a paediatric physiotherapist - parents know their kids best & you don’t have to wait for a referral to book.
Here’s how we can help you:
Fill out our intake form. Tell us about your child in your own words, no medical jargon required - just share what you are noticing & what is worrying you.
We will call you. One of our paediatric physio’s will personally call you to hear your concerns, answer your questions & make sure we are the right fit for your child.
Book your appointment. We’ll find a time that works for your family and get you in as soon as possible. If you have certain days or times that work best, let us know in the intake form.
Leave with a clear plan. After your first session, you will understand exactly what is going on with your child & have a practical plan you can start with straight away.

FAQ’s
-
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.
