Collaborative care for kids of all ages

At Williamstown Health Hub for Kids, we offer hands-on support tailored to your child’s needs, not just their symptoms. Our team takes a neuro-affirming, low-pressure approach to care that meets kids where they’re at. Whether your baby is struggling with colic or feeding difficulties, your child has toe walking or growing pains, or your teen needs sports injury rehab or strength conditioning, we’re here to help.

Chiropractic

Low-force, hands-on care to support healthy movement, development, and nervous system function in babies and children – from colic and feeding issues to plagiocephaly and torticollis.

Physiotherapy

Movement-based therapy to help babies, kids, and teens build strength, coordination, and confidence – from gross motor delays and toe walking to sports injuries and hypermobility.

Exercise physiology

Goal-focused exercise programs for kids and teens — including Sever’s disease rehabilitation, strength and conditioning for young athletes, chronic condition management, and NDIS-funded support.

Chiropractic

Gentle, low-force chiropractic care tailored to babies, toddlers, and growing kids. Led by Dr Greer Watson, one of the few qualified Paediatric Chiropractors in Melbourne with over 21 years of clinical experience and a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Paediatrics (DICCP). Sessions support healthy development, ease musculoskeletal tension, and help children move more freely and comfortably.

Conditions we support

Every child is different, and so are their needs. Our team supports children with a wide range of physical, developmental, and neurological conditions – from mild concerns to more complex challenges. These include colic and reflux, plagiocephaly (flat head), torticollis (wry neck), feeding difficulties, growing pains, Sever’s disease, toe walking, scoliosis, and postural imbalances.

We also work closely with children who are neurodivergent or living with disability, including those with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, retained primitive reflexes, or low muscle tone. Whether your child is recovering from a sports injury, struggling with coordination, or needs NDIS-funded support with mobility and strength, we’re here to walk alongside your family.

Our approach is gentle, collaborative, and neuro-affirming – helping kids feel comfortable and confident during care.

Questions families often ask about our services

Choosing the right paediatric care for your child can raise plenty of questions. These are some of the most common ones our team hears. If you don’t see your question here, get in touch.

It depends on the condition. Many babies with colic or torticollis show improvement within 3-6 sessions. Sports injuries typically respond within 8-12 weeks. Developmental conditions may take longer. We set clear goals at the start and reassess progress regularly so you always know how your child is tracking.

We understand family logistics can be tricky. Parents and carers are always welcome and encouraged to be present during sessions. Siblings may attend by arrangement, especially if it helps with your child’s comfort and engagement.

Yes. We take a neuro-affirming approach and tailor every session to your child’s sensory needs. Our team has experience supporting children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and other neurodivergent presentations. We adjust lighting, sound, pace, and touch based on what your child needs to feel safe.

We take a gentle, patient approach and build trust gradually. Bring your child’s favourite toys or comfort items. We’re happy to chat on the phone beforehand to ease any worries, and we never force treatment – if your child isn’t ready, we adjust our approach.

Absolutely. Our physiotherapy and exercise physiology teams regularly help children improve movement skills, prevent injuries, and build confidence for school sport, club teams, and everyday physical activity. We also provide return-to-sport planning after injury.
