Behind every statistic is a real child or teen living with chronic pain.

You might not see the suffering, but it’s closer than you think.
It could be your neighbour, your kids friends, your niece, your best friend’s child.

Chronic pain in young people is invisible, but it’s real. These kids are still showing up to school, with friends, and family life, often while carrying an invisible load every single day.

✨ They are resilient.
✨ They are strong.
✨ And they deserve to be seen, believed, and supported.

If this resonates, please share. The more we talk about it, the less alone our kids feel. 💚

No more pasta, “growing out of it” or “no symptoms = no problem”… there are a lot of myths about coeliac disease!

The truth? Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition, and the only treatment is a strict gluten free diet. Even if symptoms aren’t obvious, gluten can still cause serious harm to the gut and overall health. 😖

From babbling to asking every question under the sun, so much happens in your child’s communication journey between birth and 4 years old! 👶💙

Knowing what to expect can help you celebrate progress and notice when extra support might be helpful.

While all children can develop their communication skills at a different rate, we use these communication milestones to help us know when we might expect a skill to develop, or when might be a good time to check in. 💬

When is fussy eating just a phase, and when is it something more? 🍽️

When children are selective eaters, it can be stressful for the whole family.

We are often told that it is a normal developmental stage, so why do some children grow out of it and some do not?

There can be several complex reasons as to why your child might be struggling with food.

Comment FUSSY below and we will send you our ‘when to check in’ screener!

A Better Way

As a paediatric physiotherapist and mother, Western Kids Health founder Nicole Pates, knew there was a better way to deliver private health care to the children of Western Australia.

Parents commented time and time again how frustrating it was to drive all over Perth to see a multitude of health professionals. How confusing it was to receive conflicting messages. How at 5 years old their child may have difficulty learning handwriting, at 9 years suffer an injury and ongoing pain and at 15 years need assistance with mental wellbeing. But for each need, a new place, a new face. Nicole envisioned a community where health professionals worked together, for children to develop a connection with, that grew with their needs.

Western Kids Health is a health community designed specifically for babies, kids and teens. It is a dynamic, collaborative and custom environment designed specifically for children and families.

All of our staff work together and have significant experience and knowledge in childhood physical, emotional and cognitive development. Our mission is to empower families through health education. Through an evidence-based, fun, individualised approach we help your child reach their potential.
