Clinic Services for Children in Skipton
Our clinic offers a variety of physiotherapy services designed to address different aspects of a child’s health and development. Below are the key services available:
1. Developmental Delay Assessments
If you’re worried that your child isn’t meeting their milestones, you’re not alone — and we’re here to help.
Our developmental assessments look closely at your child’s movement skills, strength, balance, and coordination. We’ll explain what’s happening in clear, simple terms, highlight areas where your child may need extra support, and create a plan tailored to their needs.
Early intervention can make a huge difference, and our goal is to give you confidence and a clear way forward.
2. Sports Injury Rehabilitation and Performance Testing
Whether your child has picked up an injury at football, gymnastics, or another sport, we provide rehabilitation to get them safely back to what they love.
Our physiotherapists don’t just treat the injury - we also work on movement patterns, strength, and flexibility to reduce the risk of re-injury.
For young athletes aiming to reach their potential, we also offer performance testing to track progress and boost confidence in their abilities.
3. Physiotherapy for Hypertonia and Hypotonia
Neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or spinal muscular atrophy can affect a child’s muscle tone (hypertonia or hypotonia), movement, and coordination.
At RVCP, we provide specialist physiotherapy to help children build strength, improve posture, and develop the skills they need for everyday life. Sessions are fun and engaging, using play-based activities to motivate children while working on flexibility, balance, and mobility.
We also work closely with families to give practical advice and exercises you can continue at home, ensuring therapy fits into your child’s daily routine.
4. Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Recovery after surgery can feel daunting for families, but you won’t face it alone. We work closely with children after procedures such as selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR), orthopaedic surgeries, and corrective limb operations.
Our rehabilitation plans focus on rebuilding strength, improving mobility, and encouraging independence in a safe, supportive way. Step by step, we’ll help your child regain confidence in their body.
5. Baby Physiotherapy Services
From the first weeks of life, babies are learning how to move. Sometimes they just need a little extra support along the way. Our baby physiotherapy sessions are designed to encourage important milestones such as rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking. We also treat common conditions like torticollis (head tilt) and plagiocephaly (flat head shape) with gentle, effective techniques.
Sessions are hands-on, but always playful - because babies learn best through fun, connection, and movement.
6. Musculoskeletal (MSK) Injury Rehabilitation
Children and teenagers often experience aches, pains, or injuries as they grow - from ankle sprains and knee pain to conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease or Sever’s disease.
Our MSK rehabilitation service focuses on reducing pain, restoring movement, and building strength so your child can return to daily life, school activities, and sport with confidence. We also look at posture, footwear, and activity levels to help prevent problems coming back.
Every programme is tailored to your child’s age, stage of growth, and personal goals.
