Our Services

Our PaedsPhysio Services

We provide specialised children’s physiotherapy services, working with children at home, school / nursery or in the community. Our team at PaedsPhysio offer comprehensive assessment and rehabilitation programs that are tailored towards young clients. Whether providing neurological, musculoskeletal, orthopaedic or neuromuscular physiotherapy, we offer the very best in multifaceted rehabilitation for children in need.

Toddlers

Toddlers become increasingly aware of themselves and their surroundings, with key developmental milestones in how they play, speak, behave, learn and move.

Paediatric Physiotherapists have excellent knowledge of normal development and how the child’s neurological, muscular and skeletal system changes through key periods of growth and development. We are able to recognise abnormalities in gait patterns such as in-toeing, out-toeing or toe walking, and provide guidance of how to manage a child who may not be moving appropriately for their age.

The treatment approach may be more rotted in play and providing training and education for the family or care team to support the child as they move through their first few years.

Young Children

As the child moves into the pre-teen years, children’s physiotherapists may increasingly work with education staff, in addition to the child and their parents. Secondary consequences of the initial injury may start to become apparent, and families often need greater support to understand the impact of the injury on the child’s future.

Young children are generally more able to participate in or respond to a specific exercise programme. Depending on the age of the child, this will usually involve fun games to achieve the desired outcomes in terms of muscle strength and function. Paediatric Physiotherapists can also provide advice and signposting to appropriate physical activities, clubs and sports that may further benefit their physical and psychological well-being.

Teenagers & Young Adults

Through the teenage years the young person may desire increasing choice and control over managing their condition, which often needs to be handled carefully alongside the child’s parents and care team. It’s natural at this time to start thinking about the teenager’s future which can necessitate difficult conversations which need to be handled skilfully.

Our physiotherapists will capture the voice of each teenager to ensure that therapy is collaborative, motivational and goal directed. Teenagers may prefer physiotherapy interventions to be in a different environment to the home such as at a gym or within the context of a sport or activity.

PaedsPhysio is well placed to help young people transition from children to adult services. As part of Physio4You, our children’s physio team can enable a seamless transfer of services to our NeuroPhysio or TraumaPhysio teams who can support young people into their adult lives.
