Children’s Physiotherapy Services

Expert paediatric physiotherapy helping your child reach their full potential

Children's physiotherapy at Kids' Therapy Works focuses on helping children develop their physical abilities, overcome movement challenges, and build confidence in their bodies. Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists work closely with families to provide comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that makes a real difference to your child's daily life, mobility, and independence.

Through play-based therapy approaches and innovative treatment techniques, we help children with a wide range of conditions improve their strength, balance, coordination, and motor skills. Our team understands that every child is unique, which is why we create personalised treatment programmes that fit your child's specific needs and your family's routine.

Our physiotherapy approach

We take a family-centred approach to physiotherapy, recognising that parents and carers are essential partners in their child's progress. Our team works collaboratively with you to understand your child's needs, set realistic goals, and develop treatment strategies that can be integrated into your daily routines at home, school, and in the community.

Our evidence-based practice draws on the latest research and clinical guidelines to ensure your child receives the most effective treatment available. We regularly assess progress and adjust treatment plans to ensure your child continues to develop and achieve their potential.

What makes our physiotherapy different

Child-focused expertise: We specialise exclusively in paediatric physiotherapy, ensuring our approach, environment, and techniques are perfectly suited to children and young people.

Play-based therapy: Our physiotherapists use engaging, fun activities that feel like play rather than clinical exercises, helping children stay motivated and enjoy their sessions.

Family partnership: We work with you to develop home programmes and strategies that support your child's progress between sessions.

Equipment: Our clinics are equipped with specialist paediatric physiotherapy equipment designed specifically for children's therapy needs.

Our specialist physiotherapy treatments

  • Task Training

    Task Training

    We focus on practising specific functional activities that are important to your child's daily life. This might include walking on our treadmill, climbing stairs, or other activities that help improve motor skills, independence, and daily living abilities.

    Functional focus - Concentrating on the movements and skills your child needs for their everyday activities at home, school, and in the community. Practise, practise, practise is the key to getting better!

  • DMI

    Dynamic Movement Integration (DMI)

    Our DMI-trained physiotherapists use therapeutic techniques to improve your child's automatic postural responses and promote progress towards developmental milestones through specific positioning and movement patterns.

    Developmental support - Particularly beneficial for children with developmental delays or neurological conditions affecting their movement patterns.

  • Spider Cage

    Spider Cage

    Using our Spider Cage equipment with supportive bungees, children can safely practise functional movements such as standing, walking, and sit-to-stand transitions. This supportive environment allows freedom of movement and helps build strength, balance, and coordination.

    Safe exploration - Providing children with the confidence to attempt challenging movements in a secure, supportive environment.

  • MSK

    Musculoskeletal Therapy (MSK)

    Our physiotherapists assess and treat issues affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons, helping children recover from injuries and manage ongoing conditions. We have a depth of knowledge and wealth of experience in providing tailored interventions for children's musculoskeletal complaints, addressing the unique challenges that growing bodies face.

    Sports injuries, growing pains, postural support, post-fracture rehabilitation, joint and muscle pain, post-operative rehabilitation - We understand that children's developing musculoskeletal systems require specialist expertise, and our approach is specifically designed for active young people at all stages of growth and development.

  • Development Delay

    Development Delay

    Our physiotherapists help children develop fundamental movement skills including rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. We work with families to support natural developmental progression, whilst addressing specific challenges that may be affecting your child's mobility.

    Developmental delay support - For children working towards achieving their physical milestones, we provide targeted interventions to support their development and help them progress at their own pace.

  • Intensive Therapy

    Intensive Therapy

    We offer intensive blocks of physiotherapy delivered over concentrated time periods. Blocks can be combined with OT, SLT and Hippotherapy. These programmes can be particularly beneficial for children travelling from distance or when accelerated progress is desired for specific goals.

    Flexible scheduling - Designed to maximise progress whilst fitting with your family's needs and circumstances.

  • Electrical Stimulation

    Electrical Stimulation

    We use Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) as a tool to help activate specific muscles and improve motor function. FES has a wide range of uses, such as helping with gross motor development and gait rehabilitation. In addition to this, it may also be used as an aid when developing fine motor skills of the hand.

    Muscle activation - Helping children learn to activate and strengthen muscles that may be weak or difficult to control.

  • CIMT

    CIMT

    CIMT is a specialised, evidence-based treatment that helps children with hemiplegia improve the function of their affected arm and hand. This intensive programme encourages increased use of the affected limb whilst constraining the unaffected side, promoting neural plasticity and functional improvement.

    Traditional and modified programmes - Flexible options to suit your child's needs and your family's circumstances, from intensive daily sessions to modified home-based programmes.

  • Children's Hydrotherapy

    Hydrotherapy

    Hydrotherapy offers a fun, engaging way for children to build strength, improve movement, and gain confidence. The natural buoyancy of water reduces the effects of gravity, making movement easier and allowing children to safely explore new motor skills in a supportive environment.

    Therapeutic benefits - Supporting children with various conditions including cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and hypermobility through the unique properties of water.

  • Hippotherapy

    Equine Assisted Physiotherapy

    Through our partnership with REACH charity, we offer Equine Assisted physiotherapy (EAP, or Hippotherapy). The three-dimensional movement of horses provides unique sensory and motor input that can improve balance, coordination, strength, and confidence and benefit the sensory, neuromotor, musculoskeletal and cognitive systems.

    Comprehensive approach - Combining traditional physiotherapy with the therapeutic benefits of horse movement in a delightful, accessible setting.
