Physiotherapy built around your child

We can support

Neurological Conditions

Cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury and neuromuscular conditions.

Developmental Delay

Milestone concerns from birth onwards, with or without a formal diagnosis.

Orthopaedic Care

Specialist assessment and therapy from clinicians who work only with children and young people.

Assessment, treatment and reporting

Our physiotherapy service can include one-off assessment, ongoing therapy, home or school programmes, formal reports and coordinated support with wider care teams.

01

Comprehensive assessment

We assess developmental milestones, movement patterns, posture, strength, coordination and areas of functional difficulty. Where appropriate, we use standardised tools such as Movement ABC 2 and Gross Motor Function Measure.

02

Specialist treatment

Treatment is individualised and may include hands-on therapy, exercise plans, functional skills practice, postural advice, equipment guidance and rehabilitation for everyday participation.

03

Reports and programmes

Detailed reports can support applications for DLA, Education Health and Care Plans, equipment funding, care packages and treatment programmes for home, school or carers.
