Paediatric Treatment

Our department offers physiotherapy for children over the age of three. Like adults, children are susceptible to musculoskeletal injuries such as sports injuries, fractures, back and neck pain. They can also have problems related to the growing process, such as Osgood-Schlatters and Severs. Our physiotherapists are highly skilled at assessing and treating a huge variety of musculoskeletal conditions. For example:

Back pain
Knee pain
Sports injuries
Postural problems
Hypermobility
After fractures
Gait problems
Growing pains
Balance/co-ordination problems
Osgood-Schlatters
Post-operative rehabilitation
Scoliosis management advice
Sever’s disease

Each child has an initial assessment lasting about an hour. Your physiotherapist will discuss the immediate and long term needs of your child with you to make a tailored treatment programme, which may include exercises and advice on:

Muscle strengthening and stretching
Posture, gait and balance training
Improving movement patterns
Promoting development and balance
Training, advice and supports for parents and carers

We have a fully equipped gym, private treatment rooms and a wide range of physiotherapy equipment. We aim to make our physiotherapy sessions as fun for your child as possible, and our calm, relaxed environment aims to reduce any potential stresses or anxieties your child may have regarding their rehabilitation.
