Developmental Delays

We support infants and children showing delayed motor milestones -whether floppy tone, difficulty with tummy time, or delays in rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking.
 

Our approach is child-centred and evidence-based. According to NHS guidelines, global developmental delay (GDD) is diagnosed when a child is delayed in two or more developmental domains - typically gross motor, fine motor, communication, or social skills

  • Cerebral Palsy

  • Down Syndrome

  • Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia

  • Muscular Dystrophy

Balance & Coordination Challenges

We assist children experiencing:

Congenital Conditions

Our expertise covers:
 

  • Torticollis

  • Plagiocephaly and Brachycephal

  • Erb’s Palsy

  • Shoulder Dystocia

  • Clubfoot
     

Early intervention, including physiotherapy, can significantly enhance long-term outcomes.

Notably, 'tummy time' is essential for early motor development and especially beneficial in addressing issues like torticollis and head control delays

Normal Movement Variants That Need Monitoring

We assess and advise on:
 

  • Tip‑toe walking

  • Intoeing or out‑toeing gait patterns

  • Flat feet (common up to age four)
     

While often normal variants, we monitor progression to ensure healthy development.
