If you’re searching for a paediatric physiotherapist on the Gold Coast, chances are you’re not just looking for therapy. You’re looking for reassurance, answers, guidance, and someone who genuinely understands children, development, and family life.

At Little Ones Physiotherapy, that’s exactly what we aim to provide.

Founded by Ali Day, Little Ones Physiotherapy is a mobile paediatric physiotherapy service supporting babies, toddlers, children, and families across the Gold Coast and Northern NSW.

As both a paediatric physiotherapist and mum of two, I understand how overwhelming parenting advice can feel. Between milestone comparison, Google searches at 2am, and social media pressure, many parents are left wondering:

  • “Is my baby behind?”

  • “Should my baby be crawling yet?”

  • “Why does my baby hate tummy time?”

  • “Is W sitting bad?”

  • “Should I worry my child isn’t walking?”

These are some of the most common concerns parents search online when looking for a baby physio or paediatric physiotherapist on the Gold Coast.

Little Ones Physiotherapy was created to make support feel realistic, achievable, and family-centred, without overwhelming parents with complicated medical jargon. Enquire about a booking here.

Meet Ali Day | Paediatric Physiotherapist Gold Coast

I’m Ali Day, a paediatric physiotherapist with almost 10 years of experience working with babies and children across the Gold Coast.

I am passionate about helping children build confidence in movement while supporting parents to feel informed, empowered, and reassured through every stage of development.

I also created The Baby Playbook, a practical guide helping parents confidently support their baby’s development through purposeful play and realistic everyday strategies.

At Little Ones Physiotherapy, my approach is always:

  • Play-based

  • Evidence-based

  • Child-led

  • Family-centred

  • Realistic for everyday life

Because development should never feel overwhelming. Find all my resources here (including free downloadable milestone guides, because everyone should have access to evidence-based education about their little ones).

What Does a Paediatric Physiotherapist Help With?

At Little Ones Physiotherapy, I support babies and children with:

  • Developmental delay

  • Gross motor delay

  • Delayed crawling

  • Delayed walking

  • Toe walking

  • W sitting

  • Torticollis

  • Plagiocephaly and flat head syndrome

  • Poor balance and coordination

  • Low muscle tone

  • Baby milestones

  • Sports injuries in children

  • Neurological conditions including cerebral palsy

  • Autism-related movement challenges

  • Clumsiness and frequent falls

Many parents first search things like:

  • “baby not crawling”

  • “baby not walking”

  • “toe walking toddler”

  • “baby hates tummy time”

  • “flat head baby”

  • “child always falling over”

  • “gross motor delay”

  • “baby physio Gold Coast”

  • “mobile paediatric physio”

before they ever search the words “paediatric physiotherapist.”

That’s why parent education and practical support are such a huge part of what I do.

Mobile Paediatric Physio Gold Coast

One of the things families love most about Little Ones Physiotherapy is that I come to you.

I offer:

Across:

  • Burleigh

  • Robina

  • Mermaid Waters

  • Palm Beach

  • Varsity Lakes

  • Southport

  • Nerang

  • Upper Coomera

  • Northern NSW

  • And surrounding Gold Coast suburbs

Children often feel more comfortable and confident in familiar environments, which allows therapy to feel more playful, functional, and natural.

It also means parents don’t have to rush across the Gold Coast trying to make appointments between naps, snacks, daycare drop-off, and school pickup. Make a booking enquiry here to see if I can help your little one thrive!

A Play-Based and Evidence-Based Approach

At Little Ones Physiotherapy, therapy never looks like drills or forcing children to perform tasks.

Instead, sessions are built around:

  • Purposeful play

  • Motor learning

  • Strength and coordination

  • Balance and postural control

  • Crossing midline

  • Bilateral coordination

  • Sensory-motor development

  • Core stability

  • Confidence through movement

Children learn best through connection, engagement, repetition, curiosity, and play.

Whether we’re helping a baby tolerate tummy time, supporting a toddler learning to jump, or helping a child improve coordination and strength, therapy is always tailored to your child’s goals and developmental stage.

Early Intervention and Development Support

Early intervention does not always mean something is wrong.

Sometimes parents simply want reassurance.
Sometimes they want practical ideas.
Sometimes they want support understanding milestones and development.

And sometimes children benefit from a little extra guidance to build strength, coordination, confidence, and movement skills.

Research consistently shows that early support can positively impact long-term developmental outcomes, especially during the early years when children’s brains and bodies are rapidly developing.

At Little Ones Physiotherapy, I aim to make early intervention feel supportive, realistic, and empowering for families.

  • Rolling activities

  • Sitting support

  • Crawling play

  • Fine motor activities
