Physiotherapy for children, aims to provide a family centred, fun method of developing skills. We work with children who have a variety of disabilities or conditions which impact on their functional skills.
Conditions and disabilities that can be helped, may include:
- Cerebral Palsy & complex disabilities
- Developmental delay
- Gait (walking) abnormalities
- Motor co-ordination problems
- Birth problems (talipes, torticollis etc)
- Neuromuscular conditions
- Respiratory Conditions (Cystic Fibrosis)
- Orthopaedic Conditions (planned operations & trauma)
- Rheumatology (Juvenile Chronic Arthritis)
The treatment may consist of:
- Hands – on therapy to facilitate normal movement, including the Bobath approach
- Advice & support on equipment and requirements
- Home or school exercise programme
- Advice regarding the need for orthotics
- Relaxation and activity diaries
