What is your approach to therapy?
Our therapy is play-based: sessions are built around games, toys and challenges, so children stay motivated and progress feels like fun. It's family-centred, because you know your child best, so we set goals together and give you the confidence to help between sessions. And it's evidence-based, following current clinical research and best practice in paediatric physiotherapy.
Do you work with other professionals involved in my child's care?
Yes. We work closely with parents, carers and other professionals involved in your child's care, so everyone is working towards the same goals.
