Hard Core Kids™ is a unique physiotherapy based exercise class for kids over the age of three. Hard Core KidsTM was developed by our Managing Partner Nicole Magner to create a fun, dynamic exercise environment for children targeted to optimise their physical development.
While it is normal for children to achieve physical development at different stages these exercise classes, designed and run by physiotherapists, facilitate and optimize postural awareness, core strength and motor co-ordination in growing children.
Initial individual assessment by our physiotherapists is required for all children to determine suitability prior to enrolment in the class. The classes are then incorporated into an indivdualised program to address the specific needs and goals of your child. Classes run parallel to the school terms and in addition offer holiday programs throughout the year.

Sarah has always had a passion in providing physiotherapy services for children. Through her physiotherapy studies Sarah pursued this in the form of research. Sarah was involved in a study at the Royal Children’s Hospital that investigated the effects of a new exercise program for children with Cystic Fibrosis. This program was designed to improve the children’s muscle length and strength whilst in hospital.
Sarah works full time as a physiotherapist at the Glenleighden School in Fig Tree Pocket. Through this work Sarah has developed a particular interest in the impact of a child’s physical profile on their academic and social emotional development.
