At PaedsPhysio, our specialist paediatric physiotherapists provide expert care for babies, children, and young people of all ages, supporting them through every stage of growth and development. Whether a child has a birth injury, neurological condition, or a long-term disorder, the impact on their movement, independence, and daily life can be profound. Our physio team focus on more than just kid’s physiotherapy, we support children and their families with the expertise, compassion, and guidance needed to navigate every stage of their journey with confidence.
At PaedsPhysio, our specialist paediatric physiotherapists are experts in supporting babies and infants who have experienced birth trauma, neurological conditions, or developmental delays that impact their early movement patterns. We provide expert physio for conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy (Erb’s Palsy), hypotonia, hypertonia, torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), and congenital conditions like Talipes (clubfoot).
By using evidence-based therapies, we help babies develop strength, coordination, and motor skills, ensuring they reach their movement milestones in a gentle and nurturing environment. PaedsPhysio guide parents and carers to encourage their baby’s movement and optimise their development. Kids physio advice and recommendations can be integrated into the baby’s daily routine to make this more achievable and an integral part of their day. Our Children’s Physiotherapy team work with parents and carers to help promote motor skill development, provide advice on positioning and to reduce the adverse effects from adoption of a limited range of positions.
We specialise in identifying and addressing gait abnormalities such as in-toeing, out-toeing, toe walking, flat feet, and delayed walking, ensuring children develop safe and efficient movement patterns. Our approach is play-based and child-centred, incorporating family training and education to support gross motor development, balance, and coordination as toddlers progress through their early years. By working closely with parents and caregivers, our children’s physiotherapists empower families with the knowledge and strategies to help their child move with confidence.
As children transition into their pre-teen years, physiotherapy for young children often expands beyond the child and family to include collaboration with education staff, teachers, and support teams. During this stage, the secondary effects of conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, brain injury, muscular dystrophy, hypermobility syndromes, scoliosis, or coordination disorders (DCD) may become more noticeable. This often requires tailored paediatric physiotherapy interventions to support posture, muscle strength, and functional mobility.
During the teenage years, young people often seek greater independence and control over managing their condition, which requires a sensitive, collaborative approach between the teenager, their family, and their physiotherapist. This stage also brings important discussions about their future mobility, function, and independence, which need to be handled with expertise and care.
At PaedsPhysio, our specialist paediatric physiotherapists ensure that therapy is collaborative, motivational, and goal-focused, capturing the voice and preferences of each teenager. We recognise that older children may prefer physiotherapy in a more dynamic setting, such as a gym, sports environment, or activity-based rehabilitation programme, rather than traditional home-based sessions.
As part of Physio4You, PaedsPhysio supports direct access to specialist adult physiotherapy services, including NeuroPhysio for neurological conditions, and TraumaPhysio for musculoskeletal and complex orthopaedic rehabilitation. This integrated approach ensures a seamless continuation of therapy, removing the stress of transitioning to a completely new service. Our goal is to provide young people with the skills, confidence, and support they need to thrive in adulthood, whether they are moving into higher education, employment, or a new living environment.
