Intensive Therapy
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. Thanks to Telethon, we've been able to bring in world leading equipment like ZeroG to Australia.
In addition to our incredible clinical services, the Healthy Strides team have undertaken world leading research projects, iStride, Kindy Moves and CPMoveTime and the "Power of One" study.
Intensive Therapy Services
STRIDE, ACTIVATE, REACH and KINDY MOVES follow the therapy 3-6-9 philosophy. 3 times per week, for a 6 week duration, following the 9 principles of neuroplasticity. We specialise in goal directed, Intensive Therapy services - research backed and evidence based services only!
Healthy Strides is the home of groundbreaking technology: including ZeroG, ZeroG3D, the Neofect Upper Limb robotic suite and Perth's very first high speed, high resolution, 3D Gait Lab.

ZeroG - Cutting edge technology
The first paediatric clinic in Australia to utilise world leading equipment like ZeroG - a genuine game changer in the world of locomotor training.
The first paediatric clinic outside of the USA to utilise the ZeroG3D: robotic body-weight support system that safely allows walking overground, functional activities, balance and fall prevention training in a ‘reduced gravity’ environment. When using ZeroG, walking, TRiP perturbations, getting off the floor, sit-to-stand and other activities are performed safely without the risk of falling.
3D Gait Lab - powering advanced clinical outcomes
The STRIDE3D Gait Lab utilises the latest in 3D imaging, high speed, high resolution cameras to gain unprecedented detailed knowledge and analysis for gait.
No longer do children and young adults need to travel to the east coast of Australia for their 3D gait analysis needs - the Foundation is the very first in Western Australia to provide this service for families in WA.
Utilising the state of the art Optitrack system - considered to be the most accurate measurement system in the world. OptiTrack systems typically produce less than 0.2 mm of measurement error, even across large tracking areas.
The FREE Participate Mobile App!
FREE - Designed for families by families.
Participate is designed to be a "one stop shop" for accessible parks, playgrounds (and soon, sporting and community facilities) across Perth and Western Australia. With reviews on parks and playgrounds - highlighting accessibility, parking facilities, play equipment, safety features, maps and location details to search near to you and a community review portal for family recommendations.
Available on both (iOS/Apple) App Store and the (Android/Google) Play Store - click on the graphic for shortcuts to both store listings!

AI and Machine Learning Gait application
In addition to our STRIDE3D - state of the art 3D Gait Lab, the team at Healthy Strides has released their work-in-progress, machine learning and AI based 2D gait lab software for Mac and Windows devices.
The software was unveiled at the Small Steps | BIG Impact Conference in 2023 and is provided for FREE for clinicians and researchers exploring ways to incorporate technology into their gait analysis.
It utilises the Google Mediapipe library for markerless video capture and analysis.

WWE International Community Champion!
The touring WWE Superstars, as part of the Elimination Chamber event in Perth Western Australia, met with the Healthy Strides team in February 2024 and we are proud to have been awarded an International Community Champions belt! 💪
The WWE supports not-for-profit organisations like Healthy Strides in helping to bring awareness to neurological conditions and injuries and to inspire young people to live their very best lives.
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 weeks 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.
