First Visit

Description

Our first physiotherapy session is a relaxed and welcoming experience designed to help us get to know your child in a comfortable, low-pressure environment. Through movement-based play and gentle observation, we explore how your child moves, plays, and interacts with their surroundings. Using a range of age-appropriate assessment tools and activities, we gain insight into their motor skills, strength, coordination, balance, and posture. This holistic approach allows us to identify areas of strength and challenge, understand the root of any concerns, and develop thoughtful recommendations to support your child’s physical development and confidence in movement. Parents are always welcome to be present during sessions if the child would like them to be. At Sapling, we honour both the child’s and the parents’ preferences, and the decision to have a parent in the room is completely flexible—it can be made at the start of any appointment or even decided spontaneously during a session.
