Paediatric Physiotherapy Services

Our Childrens/Paediatric service is dedicated to providing physiotherapy assessment and treatment for children ranging from 0 to 16 years old. Convenient after-school appointments are available, allowing flexibility to accommodate your child’s schedule.

Our team of specialised Paediatric physiotherapists addresses a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal issues in children. We handle cases involving infants with obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP), plagiocephaly, and torticollis, as well as young children with developmental concerns and gait issues such as in-toeing. Older children and teenagers receive treatment for conditions like fractures, knee pain, back pain, and hypermobility, including biomechanical conditions. Additionally, our experienced team is well-versed in managing rheumatological conditions like juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists

Our highly specialized Paediatric physiotherapists focus exclusively on working with children. We have clinics situated throughout North London, and our facilities include a spacious, well-equipped gym and private clinical spaces to ensure dignity during assessments and treatment.

Collaboration with Leading Specialists

We collaborate closely with leading Paediatric orthopedic specialist surgeons ensuring that your child receives the best possible care.

Comprehensive Assessment Process

During the initial assessment, your physiotherapist will gather information about the presenting problem, your child’s birth and developmental history, any other medical conditions, as well as their hobbies and interests. A physical examination will follow, assessing relevant joints and muscles, including tasks such as walking, squatting, and balancing.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Based on the assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss the cause and propose a tailored treatment program, which may include advice, education, and home exercises. A suitable review appointment will be scheduled depending on the specific condition.

Flexible Appointments

While your child can see a chartered physiotherapist without a doctor’s referral, collaboration between your doctor and physiotherapist is recommended. Chartered physiotherapists adhere to strict professional conduct rules and maintain established connections with other healthcare team members.

For those uncertain about whether physiotherapy is suitable for their child, our team is available for a discussion about individual needs. Feel free to reach out for further information.

Our team of caring and experienced paediatric physiotherapists understands the unique needs of each child, crafting personalised plans to encourage growth and development.

Session Reservation

To schedule a session, either visit our online booking page or call us on 020 3903 8222 to inquire about consultations and treatments.

A representative from the Patient Care Team will reach out to you for an initial discussion regarding your child and their specific needs if needed.

Initial Assessment

Your first appointment will involve an initial consultation encompassing a comprehensive assessment, treatment, and the formulation of a treatment plan, lasting either 45 minutes or 60 minutes depending on the circumstances.

This step is essential to develop a thorough understanding of your child’s requirements and provide guidance on future treatments.

Subsequent Appointments

Once the treatment plan is underway, it is advisable to regularly assess and adjust as needed. The frequency and number of follow-up sessions can vary based on your child’s needs.

We will always engage in a dialogue with you, ensuring that the plan aligns with your preferences and suits both you and your child.

Timing and Duration

The frequency and duration of sessions will depend on factors such as age, condition, and your availability.

While we typically offer either 60-minute, 45 minute and 30-minute follow-up sessions, we are flexible and can arrange sessions to accommodate your schedule and preferences.
