Paediatric physiotherapy

It is our belief that parents and carers should be included in the physiotherapy sessions so that they can support the child in the rationale behind their treatment. It is also often possible to train parents and carers in some of the more simple techniques to achieve better results. By working in partnership with the child and their parent/carers physio2go® strives to enable each child to achieve his/her potential.

Physio2go offers private paediatric physiotherapy services for children 0-18 years. At physio2go we offer assessment and physiotherapy treatment for a wide variety of conditions including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, mild gross motor delay, cystic fibrosis, acute chest conditions, talipes and general orthopaedic conditions.

Our paediatric service is available to patients in our specialist paediatric clinic at physio2go York Lodge or in the privacy and convenience of the patient’s own home.

If you have concerns regarding your child in any of the following areas, please contact our York Lodge Clinic to make an appointment.

• If your child is slower than expected to roll, crawl, sit or walk.
• If your child was premature and performing less than expected for their corrected age.
• If your child is not able to keep up with their similar aged friends in the playground.
• If your child looks clumsy and awkward when moving.
• If your child falls over more than expected.
• If your child has difficulty with coordination and balance.
• If you are concerned about your child’s posture.
• If your child has been diagnosed with a condition in which physiotherapy may be helpful, including: developmental delay, dyspraxia, developmental coordination disorder, sensory-motor integration disorder, hypermobility, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, Down Syndrome and some other syndromes.
• If you are concerned about the way your child’s movement skills are developing.
