ABOUT COMO THERAPY
Children's physiotherapy that fits around family life.
We're a mobile children's physiotherapy practice in Canberra. We see kids at home, at school or at day care, so therapy happens where life already does.
COMO (koh-moh) stands for Cohesive Movement Therapy.
One coordinated, holistic plan built around your child, so every person supporting them is working towards the same goals.
OUR STORY
_edited.jpg)
Started by a mum who's been there
As a mum of a child with a disability, I know first-hand what it's like to navigate therapy, funding and everyday family life all at once. I also know how much difference the right support makes when it's delivered with real understanding.
And I know how hard it is getting to and from appointments, especially when there are several each week. That's why COMO is mobile: we come to you, at home, at school or at day care.
I started COMO Therapy to bring therapy to families where they already are, and to make sure every parent feels heard. Our team gets to know each child and shapes every plan around them and their everyday life.

HOW WE WORK
Family-centred care, delivered where you are
Where we see you
At home, at school, or at day care across Canberra and surrounding NSW, so therapy fits into your week rather than adding to it.
Who delivers it
Physiotherapists and therapy assistants deliver personalised programs, and our assistants can also work alongside your child's speech and OT team.
How it runs
Ongoing therapy, or intensive programs when your child is ready for a focused push.
OUR VALUES
The heart of how we work.
Empowerment
Your child and family have a real say in goals and how we get there.

Resilience

WHO WE ARE
A small team with a lot to give
We get to know your child: their goals, their quirks and what makes them laugh.
Then we work together to help them make real progress.
