Conditions we treat

Neurological conditions we help children with

At PaedsPhysio, we provide specialist neurological physiotherapy for children of all ages, from babies and infants, to children and young adults. We work with families whose children have a wide range of neurological conditions, whether present from birth or acquired later in life.

Cerebral palsy is one of the most common neurological conditions we treat. It affects movement, posture, and muscle tone, and can vary greatly in severity. Our physiotherapists provide targeted interventions to improve motor function, prevent secondary complications, and promote independence for children with all types of Cerebral Palsy. Whether your child has unilateral, bilateral or mixed Cerebral Palsy, our paediatric neurological physiotherapy programmes are designed to maximise their potential and minimise future difficulties with proactive treatment.
Children recovering from a traumatic brain injury may experience changes in strength, balance, coordination, and motor planning. Our children’s neuro physiotherapy approach focuses on regaining lost function, promoting neuroplasticity, and helping children re-engage with everyday life. We offer structured physiotherapy plans that are motivating, engaging, and responsive to each stage of recovery.
Spinal cord injuries in children can result in significant changes to mobility and function. Our paediatric physios work on improving strength, managing muscle tone, and enhancing independence through bespoke therapy plans. We also support families with adaptive equipment and home-based strategies, ensuring therapy is practical and life-enhancing. As children grow and develop its important to anticipate potential problems before they arise. Our experienced paeds physiotherapists support families to anticipate and address problems.
Spina bifida can affect a child’s muscle strength, coordination, and mobility, often requiring tailored support as they grow. Our paediatric physiotherapists create individualised therapy plans to help children build strength, improve movement patterns, and develop functional independence. We also guide families on positioning, equipment use, and daily routines to make therapy both practical and meaningful. As children with spina bifida progress through different stages of development, we help to anticipate and manage potential challenges, offering proactive support that evolves with their needs.
Peripheral nerve injuries are commonly caused by fractures, soft tissue injuries, birth trauma (brachial plexus injuries), sports collisions, and car accidents. Nerve injuries can lead to weakness, numbness, pain and a loss of function. Importantly, children can benefit from early physiotherapy to stimulate nerve recovery and prevent compensatory movement patterns, particularly following nerve repair. Our paediatric neuro physio sessions focus on restoring strength, coordination, and fine motor control whether the cause was birth trauma (for example with Erb’s Palsy, or following an accident.
How Neuro physiotherapy can help children

How we help – supporting your child’s neuro rehab journey

At PaedsPhysio, our approach to paediatric neurological physiotherapy is centred around the child and their family. Every child is unique, and so are the challenges they may face when living with a neurological condition or injury. Our role is to work alongside you to build a therapy plan that is not only effective but also meaningful and engaging for your child.
We don’t just treat a diagnosis, we support the whole child, helping them to achieve their personal goals, gain confidence, and enjoy the world around them.

Our specialist children’s neuro physio service is designed to:

  • Improve mobility, balance, and coordination – helping your child to move with more ease and confidence, whether learning to crawl, walk, run, or play.
  • Build muscle strength and flexibility – using play-based and age-appropriate exercises to enhance motor function and prevent stiffness or contractures.
  • Support independence in daily activities – from sitting up and dressing, to participating in school activities and playing with peers.
  • Promote participation in family and community life – encouraging active involvement in day-to-day routines, social events, and physical activities.
  • Reduce the impact of physical challenges – through early intervention, postural management, and long-term rehabilitation where needed.
  • Maximise your child’s potential and quality of life – by working on what matters most to your child and your family.
