Our Services

At Ribble Valley Children’s Physiotherapy, we provide a personalised and wide-ranging service for babies, children, and young people up to 18 years old. Whether your child is recovering from an injury, managing a long-term condition, or needs a little extra support with their development, our experienced paediatric physiotherapists are here to help every step of the way.

There are many reasons a child might struggle with movement or motor skills, and it can sometimes feel overwhelming as a parent. Our friendly, fully qualified team understands this - and with specialist knowledge in all areas of paediatric physiotherapy, we’re here to offer clear guidance, reassurance, and the right support to help your child thrive.

The RVCP Baby MOT is a supportive and comprehensive physiotherapy package designed to monitor and guide your baby’s gross motor development during those all-important early stages.

Each session includes time to get to know your baby, gentle hands-on assessment, personalised advice, and practical exercises, all delivered in a relaxed, baby-friendly environment. Whether you're looking for peace of mind or early support, this package is ideal for families who want to feel confident about their baby’s physical progress.

DMI Therapy

DMI Therapy (Dynamic Movement Intervention) is a structured, hands-on physiotherapy approach designed to improve strength, balance, and motor control in children with developmental delays or neurological conditions. By targeting specific movement patterns and challenging the nervous system, DMI promotes neuroplasticity - helping the brain form new pathways to support the development of functional skills such as sitting, crawling, and walking.

Intensive Therapy Blocks

Intensive physiotherapy blocks offer a focused and goal-driven approach to support your child’s physical development over a condensed period of time. By providing daily sessions tailored to your child’s individual needs, these blocks can accelerate progress, enhance continuity of care, and build momentum towards key milestones. Intensive therapy is particularly beneficial for children recovering from surgery, managing long-term conditions, or needing additional input to overcome developmental challenges.

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is a specialised therapy technique that uses small, controlled electrical impulses to activate specific muscles and support movement. Often used in children with neurological or muscular conditions, FES can help improve strength, coordination, and motor control by encouraging muscles to contract in a more natural, functional pattern. It is commonly used alongside physiotherapy to enhance the effects of movement training, promote neuroplasticity, and support the development of everyday skills such as walking or reaching.

Musculoskeletal Injury Rehab

Musculoskeletal Injury Rehabilitation is a dedicated service for children and young people recovering from injuries affecting the muscles, joints, bones, or soft tissues - such as sprains, strains, fractures, or overuse injuries. Each rehabilitation plan is tailored to your child’s individual needs, taking into account their age, activity level, and stage of recovery. Our approach combines hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and movement re-education to restore strength, mobility, and function. Whether the injury is sport-related or the result of everyday activity, our goal is to support a full and confident return to movement, while reducing the risk of future problems.

Sports Injury Prevention Screening and Education

Sports Injury Prevention Screening and Education is a proactive service aimed at supporting young athletes in staying healthy, active, and injury-free. Through detailed movement assessments, we identify potential risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, or flexibility limitations that could lead to injury over time. Based on the findings, we provide tailored advice, targeted exercises, and practical strategies to address these areas early - helping to optimise performance, build resilience, and promote long-term physical wellbeing in sport. This service is ideal for children and teens involved in regular training or competitive sport who want to move well and stay injury-free.
