Founder & Director

Deepa is the founder and director of Adelaide Children’s Physio Ltd (UK) and Adelaide Paediatric Physiotherapy Centre LLC (Dubai), with over 25 years of experience helping children with complex neurological, musculoskeletal, and developmental conditions reach their full potential.

Since founding Adelaide Children’s Physio in 2015, Deepa has built a reputation for combining clinical excellence with genuine, family-centred care. In 2024, she expanded the Adelaide Paediatric Physiotherapy model internationally, opening a state-of-the-art paediatric centre in Dubai and introducing advanced sensory integration and neurodevelopmental therapy programs to the region.

Deepa is a State Registered Physiotherapist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (MCSP), the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists, the Sensory Integration Network, Physiofirst, and the Neuro Developmental Therapy Association (NDTA), USA.

Beyond her clinics, Deepa is a trustee and visiting physiotherapy consultant for NISSARC (Nithilyam Special School and Adelaide Rehabilitation Centre) in India, where she leads therapy camps, training, and awareness programs for families and educators in underserved rural communities — a cause close to her heart since 2015.

Deepa has delivered keynote talks and training workshops on early intervention and paediatric rehabilitation across the UK, the Middle East, and South Asia, and continues to mentor the next generation of paediatric physiotherapists.

“Every child deserves the chance to move, play, and grow to their full potential — that belief has guided everything I’ve built, from our first clinic in the UK to our newest centre in Dubai and our outreach work in India.”
