About us

We are a team of passionate physiotherapists who work collaboratively with children and their families to develop meaningful goals and implement evidence-based physiotherapy interventions. The Little Movers Physiotherapy clinic base is located in Yarraville within the Sum of Us Kids Therapy Hub where we work alongside other paediatric allied health professionals and we provide home, school and community visits to children living in the western suburbs of Melbourne. 

​

We have a culture in which knowledge and questions are shared openly, team brainstorming is encouraged during regular in-house PD sessions, and we support each other to continually develop our expertise and skills in order to provide the best possible service to the families we work with. 

We value our close relationships with other allied health teams, paediatricians, GPs, and hospitals, and we understand the importance of maintaining a high level of communication with the child’s whole healthcare team.
