Each child receives an individual treatment programme

What methods do we use?

Motivating a child to participate in their physiotherapy is a skill. Treatment can be enhanced by the use of rewards, fun and bribery!

Our philosophy is that physiotherapy should create happy memories for the child. Complicated adult discussions mostly happen by email and telephone. Treatments include direct hands-on assessment, observation, goal setting, play and strengthening, as well as guided (facilitated) movement repetition.

The treatments will be chosen according to the age, needs and condition of the child. The range of treatments may include:

• Active facilitated movement
• Auditory bio-feedback
• Functional Electrical Stimulation of muscles (FES)
• Acupuncture
• Proprioreceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
• Vestibular balance training
• Hands-on passive movements
• Gentle joint mobilisation
• Muscle stretches
