Nicole Comninellis Physiotherapist Claremont: About the Practice

The Launchpad: Nicole Comninellis Inc. Physiotherapy for Kids is led by Nicole Comninellis, an experienced and passionate paediatric physiotherapist. The practice provides high-quality physiotherapy services for children in a welcoming setting.

Nicole completed her community service year at Red Cross Children’s Hospital, where she built strong paediatric skills. She then worked at a special needs school for more than five years. After expanding her family, she completed an MSc in Medicine in Child Health with a focus on neurodevelopment. She then opened her private practice to consult with children in Cape Town.

Nicole is also one of only eight certified neonatal therapists in South Africa. As a result, she brings specialised experience to the care of babies and children.

Our Values at The Launchpad

At The Launchpad, four core values guide the way we work with children and families.

Approachability: We create a welcoming space where families can ask questions and take part in the therapy process.

Balance: We help children develop balance in their movement, daily lives and recovery journey.

Mastery: We focus on quality during every session. In turn, children can build confidence in their skills and abilities.

Wonder: We encourage children to explore movement and enjoy learning new skills. We also celebrate each new achievement along the way.
