Physiotherapy
About Physiotherapy
At Emble, our Physiotherapy team supports infants, children, teenagers, and young adults to move, play, and take part in the daily routines and activities that matter most – at home, in school, at work, and in the community.
For infants, physiotherapy may mean reaching early milestones like taking first steps. For children and teenagers, it could mean joining in play at school, enjoying the playground, taking part in sport, or building skills for independence. For young adults, physiotherapy can support participation at work, in the community, and through neurorehabilitation after injury or illness.
Our physiotherapists focus on what’s most meaningful for each person and their family, embedding strategies into everyday life and routines. Therapy may take place in our clinic, or in the settings that matter most – at home, in childcare, school or work, at the local park, or in the wider community – wherever people live, learn, and participate.
Our Approach
For people to be truly included, it’s not just about developing their skills – it’s also about making sure the world around them supports their participation. That’s why our physiotherapists work in partnership with families, carers, educators, medical professionals, and others who are part of a person’s care team. By sharing strategies, reducing barriers, and creating supportive environments, we help individuals take part more fully in the activities and routines that matter most.
At Emble, we also understand that some people require input from more than one professional. With our large allied health team under one roof, we provide wraparound, coordinated care – bringing together physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, and other allied health supports to ensure every person’s goals are approached in a holistic, practical, and connected way.
