All Abilities Physiotherapy is a Townsville based therapy service also providing outreach services to the Mount Isa region. We are committed to providing evidence based practice and high quality therapy to children and adolescents with disabilities. As a small practice with a mobile and clinic service, we aim to individualise therapy to help your child reach their full potential.
OUR APPROACH
YOUR GOALS
Therapy will be customised to achieve your child's individual goals. We believe that no two children are alike and therefore a client-centred approach is adopted for everyone we support.
WORKING TOGETHER
Our therapists have experience working in multidisciplinary teams and understand the need for a holistic approach. Liaising with your other therapists and organisations encourages efficient treatment and consistency in all environments.
HOME AND COMMUNITY VISITS
Being mobile makes therapy convenient and comfortable. We can work with you in the setting that you choose and with the people that are important to you. We embrace the natural learning environment and ensure that recommendations can be incorporated into everyday routines.
SMALL BUSINESS
Having a small business structure means we will always be familiar with your child's treatment plan and will be there to provide the continuing care your family needs.
