Paediatric Neuro Rehabilitation encompasses Neurological Physiotherapy treatment for children and adolescents with an injury, illness or condition that results in neurological change.
Neuro paediatric rehabilitation is tailored to the unique needs of each individual child or adolescent with the primary goal to maximise their independence and quality of life in their homes; schools, sporting and leisure pursuits for now and the future.
