What’s happening?
Centre of Movement, a leading paediatric allied health clinic, is expanding its services to North Queensland with a week-long therapy clinic in Townsville, starting on 17th September 2024.
The clinic will be hosted at The Surf Club, bringing advanced therapeutic technology to local children with disabilities, including those with cerebral palsy.
Why it matters?
For families of children living with mobility issues, access to cutting-edge therapy and equipment, like the Trexo Robotic Walker, can be life-changing.
This technology, the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, offers the possibility for children to take their first steps, a transformative experience. By expanding to North Queensland, the Centre of Movement ensures these services reach more families in need.
By the Numbers
- 1 Trexo Robotic Walker available in the Southern Hemisphere
- 7 days of therapy sessions in Townsville
- 2 Directors originally from North Queensland returning to make an impact
- Countless children’s lives set to be positively impacted by advanced therapy programs
Zoom In
One of the highlights of the clinic is the Trexo Robotic Walker, a revolutionary device that can help children with cerebral palsy experience walking for the first time.
The clinic’s expert team will also offer tailored therapy sessions, ensuring children receive care specific to their conditions.
Zoom Out
Centre of Movement’s expansion into North Queensland is part of a larger mission to make world-class healthcare accessible to all children in Queensland.
By bringing advanced mobility technology to regions outside the major cities, they’re paving the way for equitable care across the state.
Local Impact
For families in North Queensland, particularly in the Townsville region, the opportunity to access specialised care without travelling long distances is invaluable.
The clinic’s return to the region is also a meaningful gesture, as its Directors, originally from North Queensland, are personally invested in the local community.
What to look for next?
Following the success of this week-long clinic, Centre of Movement hopes to establish regular therapy sessions in North Queensland, with plans to collaborate with local health professionals and community organisations to broaden access further.
