Physiotherapists are responsible for the assessment and physical management of problems due to accident, injury, ageing, disease or disability.
Paediatric physiotherapists bring their specialist skills as physiotherapists and have additional expert knowledge of child development and childhood conditions.
We can offer advice and signposting to information where required or an assessment of the child/young person's needs to inform an individualised approach to their physical management to maximise their physical abilities and functioning in their daily life.
