Specialty services
Gross Motor Skills Development

The term ‘gross motor skills’ refers to movements such as walking, running, jumping, hopping, catching, throwing, kicking, and skipping.
You use your gross motor skills to participate in a range of everyday activities such as going to the shops or the park, riding a bike and playing sports with peers, friends and family. Rocky Bay physiotherapists will assess your gross motor skills and your goals to develop an individualised intervention plan.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is ideal for rehabilitation, general therapy and leisure activities. You can learn basic exercises and techniques in a safe, controlled environment with support from Rocky Bay physiotherapists, support workers or health and wellness officers.

Rocky Bay’s hydrotherapy pool in Mosman Park is kept at a comfortable 34°C, providing you with a relaxing experience for pain relief, exercise, muscle and functional improvement.

You can access the pool via a hoist, ramp and portable pool chair.

The pool is also available for group sessions, including school holiday activities.
