Moira Henrich

​

Moira is an experienced paediatric physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping babies and children develop the confidence, skills and independence to participate fully in everyday life.

​

She enjoys building genuine relationships with children and their families, recognising that every child has unique strengths, interests and challenges. Moira believes the best outcomes are achieved through individualised, evidence-based care that is both enjoyable for children and practical for families.

​

She has extensive experience assessing and treating babies and children with developmental delay, neurological and genetic conditions, orthopaedic concerns, developmental coordination difficulties, torticollis, plagiocephaly, hypermobility, toe walking and other movement challenges. Moira has a particular interest in early infant development and the early identification of developmental concerns, using standardised assessment tools to guide clinical decision-making and support timely intervention.

 

Moira completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at La Trobe University before undertaking a Master of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne. Throughout her career she has worked across hospital, community, school and private practice settings in Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom. Her experience includes the Royal Children's Hospital, Texas Children's Hospital (Houston), a specialist school for children with disabilities in Belfast, and Angliss Hospital, where she also enjoyed teaching physiotherapy students on clinical placement.

​

Having previously served on the International Affairs Committee of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine, Moira values staying connected with the broader paediatric community. She is an active member of the Oceania Academy of Cerebral Palsy and other Childhood-onset Disabilities, the Australian Physiotherapy Association and its Paediatric Special Interest Group, and continues to pursue advanced professional development, including training in infant motor assessment such as the General Movements Assessment, to ensure families receive evidence-based care informed by current best practice.

​

Moira values working collaboratively with families, paediatricians, maternal and child health nurses, educators and other health professionals to support children within the environments that matter most to them. Her goal is for every family to leave appointments feeling informed, supported and confident in helping their child continue to learn and develop between sessions.
