Goal directed, intensive therapy services - Perth, Western Australia


We have a new address!!


(Suite 23), 954 Albany Highway, 

East Victoria Park WA 6101


ph. 08 6109 2938



Perth's only dedicated, intensive therapy, goal directed, evidence-based paediatric practice. Research and evidence based practices form the basis of all of our programs - Healthy Strides was formed on the research of iStride (led by Dr Dayna Pool at Perth Children's Hospital) and continues to complete paediatric research programs including KINDY MOVES (2019, 2020), CPMovetime (2021) and Active Strides-CP.



We are a Telethon beneficiary, Not for Profit, charitable organisation located in Perth, Western Australia, that provides intensive therapy, multi-disciplinary evidence based rehabilitation programs for children and young adults with neurological conditions and injuries to improve quality of life and meaningful participation. The Healthy Strides Foundation is an ACNC registered not-for-profit health promotions charity with tax deductible gift status.



NB. We do not offer any NDT/Bobath, Vojta, CME or DMI based on current evidence indicating that these approaches are either ineffective or have no evidence to support its effectiveness in improving motor skills. 


Evidence based practice is the holistic integration of the BEST available RESEARCH evidence, combined with CLINICAL EXPERTISE as well as the VALUES and GOALS of the INDIVIDUAL that is receiving the services. You can find our clinical reasonings on our Evidence Based Practice page at the link below.

Australian Allied Health Impact and Innovation Excellence Award Winner.

The team at Healthy Strides has been awarded the Australian Allied Health Impact and Innovation Excellence Award. This is in addition to winning the Allied Health Assistant of the Year Award and multiple finalists in other categories including the Australian Allied Health Team Culture Award.


Our team had also been the caretaker of the Australian Allied Health Private Practice Excellence Award from 2019 to 2021. Our interdisciplinary team pride themselves on innovation excellence in paediatrics. 

Telethon Beneficiary

We are proud to have been a Telethon beneficiary since 2018. We are indebted to the generosity of the WA public and Telethon 7 Perth. The Healthy Strides team have undertaken world leading research projects, iStride, Kindy Moves and CPMoveTime and the "Power of One" study.

Our Intensive Therapy Programs

Individualised goal directed programs

We provide individualised goal directed intensive therapy programs (in 3 week, 6 week blocks, along with a custom duration program option) for children and young adults with neurologically based conditions and injuries. This includes people with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. 


Increasingly, research supports the effectiveness of focused and specific activity based interventions. This is the basis of motor learning and neuroplasticity where it is understood that consolidated mass practice of specific tasks has the potential to change neurological pathways. Interventions based on this principle are known as Activity Based Rehabilitation. 


Embracing principles of neuroplasticity through Activity Based Rehabilitation approaches has the potential to improve each person's ability as well as to importantly,  increase participation in life situations whether that be at home, school or community.

Activity Based Rehabilitation Programs

All of our Activity Based Rehabilitation programs are delivered three times per week over the three to six week period. In some instances, more frequent sessions are warranted and in these cases, families do have this option if required. 


The frequency of intervention is based on current research, our years of clinical experience and our own research in Activity Based Rehabilitation. 


Engaging in short periods of focused programs also has the benefit of planning ahead so that therapy can fit around the person and family. Whilst intensive therapy is important for optimising skills and participation, it needs to be manageable so that families can balance work, school, family time and fun!


NB. The custom program option will provide a varied session frequency and can be discussed at the initial assessment.
