Welcome To Scoot Paediatric Physiotherapy
Paediatric Physiotherapy Eltham
Welcome to Scoot Paediatric Therapy, your primary destination for children’s physiotherapy care in Eltham! We believe that every child deserves the best start in life, and we are dedicated to playing our role in helping all children to reach their full potential.




Our Passion for Paediatrics
At Scoot Paediatric Therapy, our mission is to help every child reach their full potential by delivering joyful, evidence-based, and family-centred care. We believe therapy should celebrate your child’s strengths, bring fun to learning and movement, and create the meaningful progress that matters most to your family.
Guided by our values of joy, care, collaboration and empowerment, we aim to make a partnership with children, families and therapy teams to ensure clear communication, genuine understanding, and support that extends beyond the clinic. Together, we strive to empower children and families with the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to reach their goals, and thrive in all aspect of life.
We have experience treating babies, infants, children, preadolescents and adolescents experiencing:
- Developmental concerns
- Hypermobility related difficulties
- Coordination / participation challenges
- Deconditioning and low activity levels
- Musculoskeletal and sporting related injuries
- Neurodivergence
- Sensory processing disorder
- Torticollis and plagiocephaly


Scoot Paediatric Physiotherapy


Physiotherapy
We know children are not just small adults; they are different and are constantly changing whilst they grow and develop. Some children take longer to develop and have more challenges than others.


Standardised Movement Screenings
We utilise a gold standard assessment measure - Movement ABC 2 - which assesses gross and fine motor function in children between 3y-16y11m old.


Telehealth Consults
Telehealth consults can be a great way to see a child in their natural environment and upskill their support network who may be unable to attend in the clinic.


NDIS
We are qualified to work with clients funded by the NDIS who are self-managed, or plan managed. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide therapy for Agency Managed participants.
