Welcome to Kidiotherapy!

Kidiotherapy is a physiotherapy service for children living in and around the Sutherland Shire and St George area of Sydney.

We aim to work closely with the family to set up a therapy program that can be incorporated into both the child’s and family’s daily routine. Kidiotherapy will try wherever possible to arrange an appointment that fit in with child’s routines and family commitments, including weekend appointments where available. Where also indicated, preschool & school based visits can also be arranged.
