The methods families travel interstate for, now in Canberra

🀸
Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME)
Cuevas Medek Exercises at Head to Toe Therapies
CME forms the foundation of our approach.

These dynamic exercises challenge your child's body to develop natural postural control and balance by exposing them to gravity-based challenges their brain learns to respond to automatically.


When your child produces their own movement responsesβ€”rather than being passively movedβ€”their brain forms stronger neural connections.

CME integrates stretching, strengthening, and weight-bearing exercises to build the foundation for sitting, standing, transitioning, and walking with greater independence.
πŸ•·οΈ
Spider Cage
Spider Cage therapy at Head to Toe Therapies
The Spider Cage allows your child to practice movements they couldn't do on their ownβ€”safely and independently.

This specialised suspension system uses belts, elastic cords, and support suits to reduce the effects of gravity, letting your child experience what correct movement feels like.


It builds confidence, strengthens muscles in functional patterns, and allows practice of skills they're working towardβ€”all while fully supported.
🦺
TheraSuit
TheraSuit therapy at Head to Toe Therapies
TheraSuit accelerates progress by applying gentle resistance and support to your child's entire body during movement exercises.

This soft, dynamic suit improves your child's awareness of where their body is in space, reduces abnormal reflexes, and helps restore normal muscle patterns.


By loading the body with weight during exercises, it accelerates strength building and helps retrain movement patterns.
πŸ’§
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy at Head to Toe Therapies
Hydrotherapy provides low-impact strength building in a warm water pool, where buoyancy reduces your child's body weight.

Water provides natural resistance while reducing stress on joints.


The warmth relaxes tight muscles, making movement easier and less painful, allowing your child to practice movements that would be difficult or impossible on land.
⚑
Spinal Stimulation
Spinal Stimulation therapy at Head to Toe Therapies
Spinal stimulation therapy uses gentle electrical signals to activate nerve pathways in the spinal cord, helping children with neurological conditions improve movement patterns and muscle control.


It's particularly beneficial for children with cerebral palsy or spinal cord injuries who need support developing more coordinated, functional movement.

Therapy that fits your family

We know every family's situation is different. That's why we offer both home and school visits for children who need therapy in familiar environments, and intensive blocks for children ready for concentrated, progress-focused work.


Whether your child needs support at the clinic, home or school, or you're looking for breakthrough progress during school holidays using advanced equipment like CME, TheraSuit, and Spider Cage β€” we'll help you find the right approach.

Not sure which option fits your child's needs?

Book a free phone consult with a Paediatric Physiotherapist and we'll talk through what makes sense for your family.

What makes Jared different? β–Ό
Jared brings elite sports performance principles to paediatric therapy.
He's worked with the ACT Brumbies β€” and now applies that same strength, movement quality, and confidence-building approach to kids.

Where other physios focus on play, Jared focuses on movement patterns, balance, and building physical literacy that sets kids up for independence.

He gets it from both sides: as an athlete who's rehabbed serious injuries himself, and as someone who genuinely loves working with kids.
That combination creates a calm, structured environment where children feel safe to push their boundaries.

Our Partnership & Progress Commitment

Navigating NDIS, school transitions, and your child's development is exhausting.

You need a therapist who's a genuine partner, not just another appointment on the calendar.

Here's what partnership looks like with us:

  • Clarity, Always
    You'll have a clear picture of what's working for your child, what's not, and what realistic next steps look like. No ambiguity. No false hope.

  • Structured, Goal-Driven Sessions
    Every session has a purpose. We're working toward specific, measurable outcomes β€” not just "seeing how they go."

  • Honesty When It Matters
    If your child's needs fall outside our scope, or if progress isn't happening the way it should, we'll tell you directly β€” and help you find the right support.

What we don't do:

  • Lock you into long contracts before you're sure

  • Keep you guessing about progress

  • Give you generic advice you could find online yourself

Quick Answers

Intensives concentrate therapy into a focused block (3–5 sessions per week for 3 weeks) instead of spreading it across months.

Intensives create repetition, momentum, and faster learning. Every session builds on the last β€” gains compound day-to-day instead of resetting between appointments.

Intensives are designed to create breakthroughs.

πŸ’‘ Think of it like learning a language: 1 hour per week for 12 weeks = you remember a few words. 3 hours per day for 4 weeks = you're having conversations.

"Intensive" doesn't mean unsafe or exhausting.

Every program is individually planned and adjusted in real-time based on your child's state that day. Some days we push for progress, some days we consolidate. Your child's safety and comfort come first.

Many parents are surprised by how capable their child becomes once therapy is consistent and they know what to expect.

πŸ›‘οΈ We prioritise your child feeling safe over "pushing through." Therapy is collaborative, not forceful.

Yes. Intensives are typically funded under Capacity Building (Improved Daily Living) if your plan is suitable.

We accept Plan-Managed, Agency-managed and Self-managed participants and provide clear service agreements and documentation.

Travel fees: Range from $27-60 depending on location. These are also NDIS claimable under the same line items. You don't pay out of pocket if you're Plan-Managed or Self-Managed.

βœ“ Clear, simple, NDIS-compliant billing for all services including travel.

This is extremely common. Our therapists are trained to adapt sessions in real time.

If your child becomes dysregulated during a session, we pause and modify. Building trust and safety always comes first.

Many children who resist initially become eager participants once the routine is familiar and they trust their therapist. By Week 2, most children know what to expect and engage more willingly.

🀝 Therapy is collaborative β€” something we do WITH your child, not TO them. We work with them, not against them.

We're the only clinic in Canberra offering a complete intensive program using advanced paediatric rehabilitation technologies:

  • Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME): Improves functional movement & independence
  • TheraSuit Method: Strengthens posture, balance & coordination
  • Spider Cage: Specialised gait training, toe-walking correction
  • Hydrotherapy: Low-impact strength building in heated pool

For home visits, we bring all necessary equipment and work with what you already have (stairs, furniture, hallway) while bringing additional specialised aids as needed.

Yes β€” many families use a blended approach.

  • Home visits for everyday function and family routines
  • School visits for classroom and playground integration
  • Clinic visits when specialised equipment (Spider Cage, TheraSuit) is helpful

We tailor the mix around your child's goals and your family's schedule. No one-size-fits-all approach.

Session length: 60 minutes (unless shorter sessions are requested)

For intensives: 3–5 sessions per week for 3 weeks

For ongoing therapy: Typical starting frequency is 1 session per week for 6 weeks, then we review progress together and adjust based on your child's needs.

Some families increase to 2x/week during critical development phases. Others space out to fortnightly once skills are established. We customise based on what your child needs.

We provide home visits across all Canberra suburbs β€” Gungahlin, Jerrabomberra, Weston Creek, Tuggeranong, Belconnen, and everywhere in between.

School visits available at:

  • Black Mountain School
  • Malkara School
  • Cranleigh School
  • Woden School
  • Alfred Deakin High School
  • Conder Primary School
  • Holy Spirit Catholic Primary School
  • All ACT, Queanbeyan & Jerrabomberra schools are eligible

The travel fee is NDIS claimable. Distance isn't a barrier β€” we come to you.

We work with children aged 4 months to 17 years who have:

  • Cerebral palsy (CP)
  • Autism spectrum disorder with movement challenges
  • Global developmental delays
  • Toe walking or gait abnormalities
  • Low or high muscle tone (hypotonia/hypertonia)
  • Neurological conditions affecting movement
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation needs

If you're unsure whether home/school visits or intensives are right for your child's condition, book a free 15-minute consultation call and we'll give you honest guidance.

That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation call is for.

We'll talk through your child's current abilities, challenges, and goals, and then be honest about:

  • Whether an intensive is a good fit
  • What realistic outcomes might look like
  • Whether another approach (weekly sessions, home visits, school visits) would be better

If intensives aren't right, we'll recommend alternatives β€” even if that means referring you elsewhere. No pressure, just honest guidance focused on what's best for your child.
