How We Care for Your Baby

Focused assessment and treatment for congenital, developmental and injury-related concerns.

Congenital Deformity Assessment and Care

Some babies are born with differences in the shape, position or movement of their feet, legs, hips, arms or spine. Our specialists carefully assess the condition, explain how it may affect growth and recommend the most suitable care plan.

  • Regular monitoring as the baby grows
  • Gentle correction or casting
  • Braces or supportive devices
  • Physiotherapy
  • Surgery, when required

Paediatric Spine Clinic

Spinal concerns in infants may be present from birth or become noticeable over time. Our specialists assess the spine, posture, muscle strength and movement to understand the concern clearly.

  • Clinical evaluation and regular monitoring
  • Imaging, when required
  • Physiotherapy
  • Braces or other supportive devices
  • Surgical treatment for complex conditions

  • Pain management
  • Regular follow-up to monitor healing and bone growth

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of signs should I look for in my baby's movement?

Watch for uneven or stiff limbs, delayed movement milestones, sudden reduction in arm or leg movement, crying when a limb is touched, or your baby consistently favouring one side of the body. Any change in movement that concerns you is worth a specialist opinion.

Not necessarily. The specialist will first take a detailed history and gently examine your baby. Imaging or additional tests are recommended only when required.

Yes. The Cerebral Palsy Mobility Clinic offers orthopaedic assessment, physiotherapy, braces and supportive devices, with care personalised and adapted as your child grows.
