About FSTS

We work with babies and children to help them reach their best possible physical potential, supporting them to grow, move, play, and participate fully in everyday life.

A Paediatric Physiotherapist is the right professional to see if you have concerns about your child’s physical development. Our team is trained in:

  • Gross motor milestones

  • Sensory-motor development

  • Movement and posture

  • Strength, balance, and coordination

  • Play and functional skills

We are experienced in identifying both typical and atypical development at every stage, from infancy through adolescence.

Our Approach

Children’s brains and bodies learn rapidly through movement, play, and repetition. With the brain’s neuroplasticity, the right support at the right time makes a meaningful difference. 

Our holistic, family-centred approach includes: 

  • Setting functional, meaningful goals 

  • Developing practical, play-based programs 

  • Supporting progress at home, school, and in the community 

We collaborate with other allied health and medical professionals to support your child’s overall wellbeing and participation. 

Languages We Speak

At FSTS, families don't have to leave their language at the door. Our team brings a whole world of words with them, so you and your child can feel right at home:

  • Physiotherapists who speak Hindi, Marathi & Spanish

  • An allied health assistant who speaks Italian

  • Admins who speak Filipino (Tagalog)

Whatever language feels most like home, chances are someone here speaks it too!
