Alice Hill 

B.Physio, M.B.A

Director & Senior Physiotherapist 

 

​

Alice has over 15 years’ experience as a Paediatric Physiotherapist and Clinical Educator in various settings including community early intervention, hospitals, universities, and private practice. She first discovered a passion for working with children as the Company Physiotherapist on Billy Elliot the Musical, which had a cast of 55 children, and has since worked with children with a wide range of genetic, neurological, complex medical, neurodivergent, orthopedic, sporting and neuromuscular conditions. She has a special interest in working with babies who are at risk of a neurological condition, or present with an undiagnosed delay in gross motor skills (movement) to ensure that they receive early intervention to maximise long-term outcomes. Alice founded Little Movers Physiotherapy in 2016 with the vision of creating a family-centred community service that would help children develop their physical skills to maximise participation and to help families navigate the healthcare and NDIS systems.

​

Alice held a part-time position as a Lecturer in the Physiotherapy Department at La Trobe University from 2013 - 2020, teaching Child Development and Paediatric Physiotherapy subjects to the Masters of Physiotherapy students and continues to hold an honorary lecturing position. She was a guest presenter to the Australian Physiotherapy Association Paediatric Group on the practical application of Family Centred Care in 2019 and a guest Lecturer to the Master of Physiotherapy students at Swinburne University in 2022 & 2023. 

​

Alice has completed a wide range of paediatric courses, the most influential on her current clinical practice being the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination, Prechyl’s General Movements Assessment and ABNDTA Understanding Disorders of Movement and their Impact on Activity and Participation. Alice is a qualified clinical pilates instructor and incorporates principles of core strengthening when developing play-based exercise programs for babies and children. 

​

As a mother to 3 children, Alice understands the challenges of fitting therapy into busy daily routines and the importance of being able to integrate therapy ideas into busy schedules! She is passionate about helping children to achieve their full potential and enjoys working collaboratively with families to develop practical and realistic interventions. She believes physiotherapy for children should be play-based and fun!
