Paediatric Care

What is Paediatric?

We are proud to offer expert paediatric physiotherapy for children aged 4 and above. Our team understands the unique needs of growing bodies and provides compassionate, age-appropriate care in a friendly and supportive environment. We regularly treat a wide range of childhood conditions, including growing pains, postural issues, joint hypermobility, sports injuries, developmental delays, and recovery following fractures or orthopaedic surgery. For children under 16, a parent or guardian must be present during all appointments. Our clinicians are excellent with children - many are parents themselves, and know how to make young patients feel comfortable while delivering effective treatment. Early intervention is especially important in paediatric cases, as untreated issues during growth and development can lead to long-term complications. Getting the right care at the right time can make a significant difference in a child’s physical wellbeing, confidence, and ability to stay active.

The Physio 1 to 1 Approach to Paediactric Assessments

Our approach to paediatric assessments is warm, thorough, and tailored to suit both the child and their family. During the initial assessment, we take time to gather detailed background information by speaking with both the child and their parent or guardian. This includes discussing medical history, any previous injuries, developmental milestones, and current symptoms or concerns. We may ask questions such as: When did the symptoms start, have there been any recent growth spurts or changes in activity and do certain movements or activities cause pain? Our clinicians are skilled at communicating in a way that is clear and reassuring for children, while also keeping parents fully informed and involved. By creating a relaxed and engaging environment, we ensure each child feels comfortable and understood, laying the foundation for effective and confident treatment.

I and 3 members of my family have been treated by Rob for several years for various injuries and we cannot speak more highly of him and his colleague George. Rob has an enormous wealth of knowledge and expertise and he also uses acupuncture which we find increases our recovery.
