✨ We’re opening our books to private paediatric Physiotherapy patients in 2026! ✨

We’re excited to announce that we are now accepting referrals for children from birth to 18 years with musculoskeletal concerns.

Our therapists have extensive experience supporting children and their families. We focus on providing:
✔️ Accurate, clear information
✔️ Reassurance and confidence-building
✔️ Play-based strategies for skill development
✔️ Simple, achievable home exercise ideas to help optimise gross motor skills or support injury recovery

We’re passionate about helping little bodies move, grow, and thrive — and we can’t wait to welcome new families into our care next year. 💛

If you’d like more information or to refer, please get in touch with our team.

🌟Meet Shaun🌟

If you’ve followed our page for a while, you’d have seen Shaun feature with AEP Alex working towards his standing and walking goals.
Shaun’s verbal communication has been a barrier expressing his thoughts as speech. Let’s be honest, most of us take that for granted. In our world, being able to say “that’s too heavy,” “my leg feels weird,” “yep, I get it,” or “absolutely not, I’m not doing another rep” is how we keep sessions safe, meaningful and person-centred.
Shaun recently had a customised communication device scripted by his speech therapist, and the difference in the clinic has been enormous.
For the first time, Alex could clearly hear how Shaun was coping, what he wanted to adjust, and when he was ready to push (or when he was ready for a breather). Shaun even has personalised buttons for “one more rep,” “I’m tired,” and the crowd favourite “one schooner of Toohey’s New, please” - Not that Alex can help with that...
He also treated Alex to a cheeky “How about those West Tigers?” because priorities are priorities.

This was their first session using the device… and it was a genuine game-changer.
A huge shoutout to Anabel at for teaming up with Alex to make this possible. Collaboration done right and Shaun is already reaping the rewards.

✨ Play: the beginning learning space for all ✨

For many of our tactile-defensive kiddos, shaving cream can feel like the ultimate challenge… and today, this little legend gave it a go and found the fun in it 👏🤍

Through playful mess comes powerful learning:
🫧 Laughter supports the nervous system to re-regulate
🫧 Shared play creates opportunities for social connection with siblings, family, and therapists (hello polyvagal theory!)
🫧 Cleaning up becomes heavy work, providing rich proprioceptive input and supporting sensory integration
🫧 Natural consequences help build social understanding and skills
🫧 Fine motor skills and bilateral coordination are strengthened as individual fingers are isolated and used with purpose

So proud of this brave moment — trying something hard and discovering joy along the way 💛

🎄✨ Christmas Team Lunch in the Neuro Gym! ✨🎅

Our monthly team lunch got a very merry upgrade this week with our annual Christmas tradition in the Neuro Gym, and the vibes (and food) did not disappoint!

We have even started talks about publishing a Compass cookbook 😂.

Feeling extra thankful for this incredible group of humans we get to spend our days with. ❤️🎄✨

🐝 Welcome to Busy Bees! 🐝
Our sensory-focused group designed to help little ones regulate, organise, focus, and feel calm through purposeful movement.

Through fun “heavy work” activities—think pushing, pulling, carrying, climbing and more!

It’s all about learning through movement in a playful, supportive environment 💛
Buzzing with activity, confidence and joy ✨

We love equipment delivery day! 🥳

For this participant it means having the tools to smash his home rehab program so he can continue progressing toward his goals. 💪

He now has a place he can enjoy family meals, read books and practice his functional skills like writing and self feeding! 🙌

This is possible because he can drive his power chair in nice and close thanks to the custom cut out and joy stick cove. ✍️ 🍴 📖

We are so happy to see this outcome and thank-you to for working with our Physio team to bring the vision to life.

🌟 The rehab journey never stops.

Our long-term client, 15 years post-SCI, reminds us that rehab doesn’t stop after the first two years. People with neurological conditions are at higher risk of falls, and even short periods of minimal activity or bed rest can have a big impact on balance and function. Targeted bursts of specific training can help prevent falls or a decline in function if managed early.

MiniBEST Balance Test Progress:

After 2 weeks of minimal activity/bed rest our client scored 15/28

He then started weekly reactive balance training in the overhead harness in a group setting in addition to his usual home program and 1-1 sessions.

On retest 3 weeks later our client scored 23/28!

These results show a timely, meaningful improvement across all balance domains, especially reactive balance, which is proven to reduce the risk of falls and injury.

A great result from his extra effort! 👏
