Nick's Passion for Physiotherapy
Nick’s passion for Physiotherapy developed naturally from a love of sport and being active. His love of paediatrics and children/family health has grown through his experience working as a swim teacher, tutor, volunteer with ‘Heads together for ABI’ and his work in the field.
He has spent the last 4 years working solely in paediatrics with a focus on the development of children from newborn to 16 years at one of Victoria’s premier community paediatric clinics.
Nick is a tutor in the Paediatric Lifespan unit at Monash University, is Cuevas Medek Exercise (CME) Level 1 trained, has completed the APA Level 1 and 2 Paediatric Physiotherapy Course, and is continually looking to expand his knowledge and experience to make more children and families more healthy, more of the time.

- Developmental concerns
- Hypermobility related difficulties
- Coordination / participation challenges
- Deconditioning and low activity levels
- Musculoskeletal and sporting related injuries
- Neurodivergence

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.
