At Therabees, we are committed to supporting children and young people to grow, develop, and thrive. In addition to our core paediatric allied health services, we are proud to offer access to Adelaide Active services designed specifically for children, including therapy with an Exercise Physiologist (EP) and our hydrotherapy pool.
These services are ideal for children who need support with strength, coordination, movement, or physical development in a safe and engaging environment.
Exercise Physiology for Kids
Our paediatric Exercise Physiologist (EP) works with children to improve physical fitness, motor skills, and functional abilities. Exercise physiology is especially beneficial for children with developmental delays, musculoskeletal challenges, or chronic health conditions that affect movement.
The EP develops individualised programs tailored to each child’s abilities and goals. Sessions may include fun exercises to improve strength, balance, coordination, and endurance, all delivered in a child-friendly and supportive way.
Hydrotherapy Pool Sessions
Therabees and Adelaide Active also offer hydrotherapy pool sessions for children. The warm water environment provides a safe, low-impact space where children can practice movement, balance, and strength exercises. Hydrotherapy is particularly helpful for children with:
- Mobility difficulties
- Muscle weakness or tightness
- Coordination or balance challenges
- Post-injury rehabilitation needs
The pool sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and tailored to each child, giving them confidence while improving physical function.
Why These Services Are Great for Children
Both the EP sessions and hydrotherapy pool at Adelaide Active are designed specifically for children, ensuring:
- Therapy is safe, age-appropriate, and engaging
- Programs are individualised to suit developmental needs
- Families can be involved in supporting progress
- Children build confidence in movement while having fun
These services complement the therapies your child may already be receiving through Therabees, helping to maximize development and participation at home, school, and in the community.
