WHO WE ARE
Yes, just kids. Yes, just physio.
Melanie and Mikaela, co-owners of Kids Physio Group - Winnipeg, first met in the hallways of the University of Manitoba while completing their Masters degrees in Physiotherapy. Since graduating, they have both been passionate about working with kids. They had been following along with the amazing work of Kids Physio Group for a few years, and a seed was planted when one of their physio friends moved to BC to join the Kids Physio Group team. From there, they decided to open their own clinic in Winnipeg.
With the children’s well-being and treatment top-of-mind, our team of physiotherapists bring in-depth experience working with infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of developmental, neuromuscular, orthopedic, congenital, and acquired disorders. Treatments focus on improving independent mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, endurance, gross motor skills, and motor planning.
And best of all, WE MAKE PHYSIO FUN!

DMI is an intervention that incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. This therapeutic technique is used by physical and occupational therapists to treat children with gross motor impairments by improving and/or provoking a desired action with great emphasis on alignment, sensory integration, and function. The goal is to promote progress toward developmental milestones.
After a brief assessment, the therapist will identify areas of potential growth, which will guide treatment to encourage movements in a more typical pattern.
Exercises are repeated until these movements become automatic, which results in improved balance and function. This involves:
- movement against gravity
- progressively more challenging support
- provocation of desired movements
- postural and strength challenges
Paediatric physiotherapists use age-appropriate exercises for pelvic floor physiotherapy to enhance a child’s pelvic control, none of which are internal.
Paediatric pelvic floor exercises often involve gentle muscle contractions and relaxation techniques to improve coordination, balance, and strength in the pelvic region.
