Local care
Paediatric physio for Crookwell residents.
The 40-minute run down Crookwell Road is one many families make with a toddler asleep in the back seat, and it's usually worth timing around nap or school hours. Crookwell is farming country, and kids growing up on grazing properties are outside and moving from an early age — which means more knocks, more growing pains, and more of the coordination questions we're asked about.
We assess head shape and turning in babies, track rolling, sitting, crawling and walking against what's typical, and look at toe-walking, in-toeing and hypermobility in older kids from Crookwell, Kingsdale, Taralga and Mummel. The same physio sees your child every visit, so a 46-kilometre trip builds a relationship, not a fresh assessment each time.
We're plain about what's normal for an active farm childhood and what's worth a proper look.
Getting here
The drive in from Crookwell.
Crookwell sits north-west of Goulburn, about 46 km from the clinic and roughly 40 minutes away via Crookwell Road. Our clinic is at 37 Ross Street in the centre of Goulburn, with parking on site — an easy trip for a first assessment or a standing block of appointments.
What we treat
What Crookwell patients see us for.
Paediatric physiotherapy is physio with extra training for babies, children, and teenagers — how a growing body moves, when something's outside normal variation, and what helps. The family is in the room, the same physio sees your child across every appointment, and we won't medicalise normal variation.

Common questions
Questions we get asked a lot.
Can we claim through Medicare or NDIS for paediatric physio?
Both are possible. Medicare applies if your GP has your child on a Chronic Disease Management plan; NDIS applies if your child is an eligible participant. Private health and DVA cover many families too.
Is it realistic to keep up an ongoing program from 46 kilometres away?
Yes — most Crookwell families space visits every few weeks and combine the 46-kilometre trip with other errands in town. We build an ongoing program around a manageable driving schedule rather than requiring weekly appointments.
My baby has a flat spot and always turns one way — is that worth looking at?
Yes, and early is better. A head-turn preference and the flat spot that often comes with it respond well to positioning advice, tummy-time progressions, and gentle neck work — usually without a helmet. We assess what's driving the preference and write a home program you can do across the day.
At what age should I worry my child isn't walking?
Most children walk between twelve and fifteen months, and some take until eighteen without anything being wrong. We look more closely if a child isn't pulling to stand by twelve months or walking by eighteen, or if their movement looks stiff or asymmetrical. Often a single assessment settles the question.
