Physiotherapy

Each child has a named physiotherapist who will assess their physical ability and needs. A treatment programme with short and long term aims and objectives is devised to help achieve maximum independence in the context of all other medical care, including focus on the child’s postural ability through the 24 hour period and their respiratory care. These aims are reviewed and needs assessed continually. Physiotherapy is delivered in a number of different ways. In addition to individual sessions, there are group sessions including walking and cycling, hydrotherapy and the use of orthotics (splinting). To support this, home programmes are encouraged and families can join demonstrations on treatment sessions.
