Our Paediatric Physiotherapy Team
Tekarie (Tek) - Director
PHYSITEK is a paediatric physiotherapy practice founded by Tek, a passionate physiotherapist with over eight years of experience supporting children and families. With a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (2017) and a Master of Advanced Paediatric Physiotherapy with Distinction (2023). Tek brings a warm, playful, and engaging therapy style that helps children feel confident, capable, and supported. She works closely with families to help children achieve meaningful goals—big or small—while creating a safe, fun, and encouraging space for growth.
Tek has extensive experience supporting children with physical, sensory, and intellectual disabilities, gross motor delays, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal concerns, and cardiorespiratory conditions. Her background across private practice, hospital, and rehabilitation settings has shaped PHYSITEK’s commitment to inclusive, adaptive, and evidence-based care. PHYSITEK was founded to bridge the gap between high-quality paediatric physiotherapy and accessible, family-centred support—bringing expert care directly to the children who need it most.
