What we do

Paediatric physiotherapy is the special interest of our practice, servicing Ararat and Districts. We treat a wide range of general physiotherapy conditions including women’s health, and we have staff qualified in health promotion.

KMA Health & Physio has a sound understanding of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and our practice is family-focused, recognising the impact of disability on family routine.

Paediatric Physiotherapy

Our knowledgeable staff are qualified to give advice and treat a range of paediatric conditions, just some of which include torticollis, plagiocephaly and postural issues such as flat feet and knock knees. Children with developmental delays, cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions, as well as cystic fibrosis and asthma, can benefit greatly from physiotherapy treatment. Infant massage is known to help with relaxation and circulation, improving sleep and weight gain, enhancing development, reducing pain and crying and improving bonding. Visits to patients at home, school, or even the local park can be arranged. We are committed to helping our patients achieve their goals in their own environments. Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Family Centred Practice

We understand that physiotherapy treatment can be difficult to manage along with the demands of family life. We aim to incorporate treatments with already established routines and involve other family members and carers. We also understand that caring for a child with a disability can impact the whole family and so we aim to support the whole family as part of our treatment.

Our model of ‘family centred practice’ recognises that family and carers know the patient best and we respect and appreciate their opinions and guidance. KMA Health & Physio believes in the importance of communicating information to support the patient to achieve their goals.

general physiotherapy

KMA Health & Physio are experienced in all areas of physiotherapy including women’s health, neurological, cardiothoracic and orthopaedic rehabilitation.

Health Promotion

We enjoy regular visits to Maternal and Child Health and other groups to talk about paediatric physical development. If you know of a group that you think would benefit from a visit by KMA Health & Physio please let us know and we will be happy to speak with you.

With post-graduate qualifications in Health Promotions, our particular interest is the analysis of the Social Determinants of Health in relation to a population. KMA Health & Physio can come and talk to groups or workplaces, as well as compile population health data.
