Comprehensive Care for Paediatric Musculoskeletal Conditions
We support children with a wide variety of musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions, including acute injuries, postural issues, and chronic pain. Our goal is to promote pain-free movement, improve function, and help each child reach their full physical potential.
Soft Tissue Injuries & Sporting Injuries
Children often sustain injuries through active play and sports. We treat strains, sprains, ligament issues, and tendon problems with gentle, age-appropriate rehabilitation plans. Early physiotherapy speeds recovery and helps prevent recurrence.
Growth Plate Conditions
Growth plate conditions can affect a child’s ability to move comfortably. We provide physiotherapy for conditions such as:
-
Osgood-Schlatter Disease: Knee pain in active adolescents
-
Sever’s Disease: Heel pain linked to growth spurts
-
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE): Hip instability requiring close monitoring
-
Perthes Disease: Hip joint disruption needing targeted movement therapies
Fractures & Bony Injuries
Rehabilitation following a fracture is essential to regain strength and mobility. We work closely with local orthopaedic consultants to ensure safe return to movement, school PE, and hobbies.
Anterior Knee Pain & Patella Maltracking
Anterior knee pain and kneecap tracking issues can restrict movement and cause ongoing discomfort. We offer exercises to improve muscle strength, flexibility, and knee control.
Hypermobility in Children
Children with hypermobility may appear very flexible but often experience fatigue, joint pain, and coordination difficulties. We deliver specific strength and motor skills programmes to build confidence and control.
Scoliosis & Poor Posture
Our team supports early postural assessments and interventions for children with scoliosis or habitual poor posture. We focus on spinal alignment, muscle balance, and ergonomic advice for home and school.
Back Pain & Growing Pains
Back pain and growing pains are increasingly common in school-age children. We assess posture, joint mobility, and muscle imbalances to provide relief, restore confidence, and support sleep.
