How physiotherapy can help a wide range of conditions for a variety of children
1
Assessment and treatment
Our assessments begin with your child getting comfortable with the environment and letting them explore, we take time to observe and understand how your little one is moving and playing. We look closely at strength, coordination, balance, posture and motor skills. Together we will make a plan of how your child is going to reach their goal.
Common concerns we support are:
-
Toe walking
-
Coordination difficulties
-
low muscle tone
-
Hypermobility
-
Genetic conditions
-
Cerebral palsy
-
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and Autism spectrum disorder
-
Delayed motor milestones

Intensive Therapy
M&M Intensives are focused blocks of one-to-one physiotherapy designed to help your child make meaningful progress towards specific developmental goals. Each programme is tailored to your child's individual needs and combines play-based therapy, targeted movement activities and parent coaching. Sessions take place several times a week, allowing for concentrated support and opportunities to build new skills.
An intensive block of therapy is particulary beneficial children who:
-
Are on the cusp of achieving a motor milestone like crawling, sitting, standing or walking
-
Are working towards a specific gross motor goal
-
Have plateaued in weekly or monthly therapy
-
Who need a high level of hands-on support to work towards their goal

Training
We specialize in delivering engaging training sessions tailored specifically for preschools and early years practitioners, focusing on the essential Foundation of Development. This comprehensive training dives into the theory behind the significance of establishing a strong foundation of gross motor skills and the age appropriate skills for pre school children. You will also learn how to identify potential issues related to posture, core stability, coordination and balance and acquire a wide range of activities, games and exercises aimed at enhancing the gross motor skills of the children in your care so they can engage and thrive in their environment.
Training sessions can be tailored to meet the individual needs of your setting. For more information get in touch by clicking on the button below.
