Do we need a referral for a sports injury or growing pains?

No referral is required — you can book directly. If ongoing management suits a Medicare Chronic Disease Management plan, we'll flag that to your GP; private health and CTP also apply.

Is 18 minutes enough time to fit an appointment around training?

Generally yes. At only 12 kilometres and about 18 minutes each way, most Run-O-Waters families fit a visit before or after school sport without losing much of the afternoon or missing training.

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.

Local care

Paediatric physio for Run-O-Waters residents.

Growing pains and sports niggles are common on Run-O-Waters' acreage blocks, where kids seem to always be outside — on a trampoline, a bike, or the sidelines of a Saturday game. At only 12 kilometres and about 18 minutes from your door, it's an easy trip to fit around training and school runs.

We see school-age sports injuries and growing-pain complaints, hypermobility and posture concerns, and the coordination questions that come with active kids — toe-walking, in-toeing, balance. For younger children we also check head shape and turning and track motor milestones like crawling and walking.

Because the drive is short, families from Run-O-Waters, Baw Baw, Yarra and Kingsdale can keep up an ongoing program without it taking over the week. The same physio sees your child each visit, so we build a picture over time rather than starting again.

Getting here

The drive in from Run-O-Waters.

Run-O-Waters sits on Goulburn's western fringe, about 12 km from the clinic and roughly 18 minutes away via the local roads west of Goulburn. 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 Run-O-Waters 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.
