Leapfrog Physiotherapy

Leapfrog Physiotherapy is a community-based mobile paediatric physiotherapy service

About Us

Leapfrog Physiotherapy provides land-based physiotherapy and hydrotherapy services all over Adelaide, including the Adelaide Hills and parts of the Fleurieu. We are passionate about providing high quality service to infants, children, young adults and their families within their own environment - at home, school, kindergarten, child care and the local playground or pool.

We work with a team based approach to share goals and strategies with your child's carers, teachers and therapy team to offer consistent and cohesive input.

Services

Even before they are born, babies and children develop their strength and skills through play and experimentation. Facilitating play-based therapy helps children remain engaged and motivated to learn and achieve.

Land-Based

As a mobile service, we travel to your child's home, school or place of care to provide tailored therapy solutions based on their environment and needs. This can include initial assessments, NDIA reports, rehabilitation, facilitating walking and running patterns, developing play and gross motor skills and prescribing mobility and positioning equipment.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a fantastic way to develop core strength, coordination and endurance in a fun and challenging environment. We offer hydrotherapy at several locations, including Stirling, Marion, Melrose Park and North Adelaide - please contact us to determine what location and times may suit you and your child best.

Staff Profiles

Jordan Cameron

Jordan is the founder and principal clinician at Leapfrog and is an experienced senior paediatric physiotherapist who has worked with hundreds of children and families across South Australia with a wide variety of conditions and diagnoses.

Beginning her career at Novita Children's Services, Jordan worked in conjunction with OTs, Speech Pathologists, Psychologists and Rehabilitation Clinicians across the Child and Adolescent, Regional and Early Childhood teams. Taking a special interest in hydrotherapy, Jordan began work at Child's Play Physiotherapy and Aquatics after obtaining her AustSwim Swim Teaching licence as well as completing specialist physiotherapy courses in Aquatic Therapy for children with physical disabilities and ASD.

Jordan loves developing fun and innovative therapy sessions to challenge her clients and put a smile on their face and is known for her wicked sense of humour. When she's not at Leapfrog, Jordan can be found chasing around her two small children on their farm in Macclesfield.
Cindy Chang

Cindy has been a much loved member of the Leapfrog team since 2017 and is one of the kindest and most well organised humans we know. She completed her Bachelor of Physiotherapy at UniSA in 2011 and went on to complete her Masters in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy in 2014. Since graduating, she has worked in a variety of clinical settings, ranging from a coastal sea change in Victor Harbor to six months in Melbourne. She has extensive experience in sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy, as well as rehabilitation and Pilates.

Cindy has always been passionate about working with children and has a strong interest in rehabilitation and disability. She believes in creating a fun and challenging environment to motivate her clients and has completed her AustSwim teacher certification to further her skills in the pool.

Aside from being an energetic and fun physio, Cindy is well-known for her love of dinosaurs, her gingerbread baking skills and her ability to pack a lot of life, laughter and adventure into her days.
Rachel Mortimer

Rachel studied her Masters of Physiotherapy at UniSA and was employed by Novita Children's Services after graduating, where she gained wide and varied experience in many fields including equipment prescription, school transfer planning and gait and orthotic assessment.

Rachel has a passion for hydrotherapy and has worked at Child's Play Physiotherapy and Aquatics and undertook her AustSwim Swim Teacher licence as well as other specialist physiotherapy courses in Aquatic Therapy.

Rachel joined Leapfrog in 2018 and is loved by her clients for her thorough and caring nature and her tendency to go above and beyond. She is kind and quick to laugh and aims to make her sessions so fun that the kids don't even realise how hard they're working!
Cara Baronian

Cara joined Leapfrog at the start of 2018 as a new graduate, having completed her Masters of Physiotherapy at UniSA after obtaining a Bachelor of Health Science at the University of Adelaide. Cara has always had a passion for working with infants and children and is well loved by the families she works with (and her Leapfrog fam) for her caring and patient attitude.

Cara has completed the Austswim Swim Teacher course and the Australian Physiotherapy Associations Paediatrics level one course as well as Autism Spectrum Diagnosis training. Her special interest is early intervention for infants and toddlers and she loves to see her clients grow and learn new skills every week.

At the start of 2022 Cara welcomed her first child, a little girl, so she's taking some maternity leave at the moment and is loving the Mum life and the updates from her clients who have all been missing her!
Kate Redden

Kate started with Leapfrog in 2016 and is our longest serving employee and a much valued ray of sunshine in our team! She studied Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and has worked in the Community Services sector performing roles in rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, group classes, musculoskeletal physiotherapy and aged care.

Kate is passionate about hydrotherapy and has also completed her AustSwim swimming teacher certification. Kate has a wonderful sense of fun and loves to create engaging and motivating sessions that centre around her clients' interests.

When she's not at Leapfrog or working on her Master's degree in research at UniSA, you'll find Kate at the beach or out in nature with her gorgeous little moodle Duckie.
Gaby Oswald

Gaby joined the Leapfrog family in 2020 and works with us alongside her role in the Child and Youth Health team at Lyell McEwin Hospital . Her background includes working as a paediatric orthotist/prosthetist at Novita Children's Services for several years before completing her Masters in Physiotherapy and working at the Women's and Children's Hospital for a couple of years..

Gaby is passionate about infant assessment and development, having completed specialist training in assessment and play therapy including Prechtl's General Movements assessment. Gaby has extensive experience working in the infant assessment clinic in her roles with SA Health and is known for her thoroughness and eye for detail..

Gaby's innate sense of fun, her zany sense of humour and the way she throws herself into her sessions has cemented her as a firm favourite with her families, clients and everyone she meets. On her days off you'll find her at the beach with her beloved doggo Banjo.
