Our School & Nursery Physiotherapy Services
Our physiotherapists offer a range of services during school and nursery visits, carefully tailored to meet the specific needs of your child.
1. Developmental Support in Schools and Nurseries
If your child is facing challenges with physical development, such as walking, crawling coordination, or balance, we provide targeted assessments and exercises to help them overcome these obstacles. Our physiotherapists will work with teachers to ensure the right strategies are in place to support your child’s physical growth in a school setting. Learn More.
2. Support for Children with Neurological Conditions
Children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy or SMA can benefit from consistent physiotherapy in the school or nursery environment. We collaborate with teachers and keyworkers to implement tailored exercises and activities that promote mobility and independence.
3. Post-Surgery Rehabilitation for School-Aged Children
If your child has recently undergone surgery, such as SDR, we can provide rehabilitation visits to help them recover effectively while continuing their education. Our physiotherapists will ensure that recovery is incorporated seamlessly into their school or nursery routine.
4. Physiotherapy for Musculoskeletal Issues
Children with musculoskeletal conditions can experience pain or discomfort that may interfere with their school activities. We provide treatment for conditions such as Osgood-Schlatters Disease, Sever’s Disease, joint hypermobility, and other musculoskeletal concerns. Learn More.
5. Gross Motor Skills Development
Motor skills development is crucial in the early years of a child’s life. Our physiotherapists can assess and guide your child through activities that strengthen their gross motor skills, whether it’s for classroom activities or playground play.
How We Work
Our physiotherapy visits to schools and nurseries are designed to be flexible and accommodating. Here’s how we ensure that your child’s needs are met:
1. Initial Assessment
Before beginning school or nursery visits, our team will carry out a comprehensive assessment of your child’s needs, either at your home, our clinic or another convenient location. This allows us to tailor our services to your child’s specific requirements.
2. Coordination with School/Nursery Staff
We understand that collaboration is key. Our physiotherapists work closely with school and nursery staff to integrate our services seamlessly into the child’s routine. This ensures that therapy doesn’t disrupt their daily activities but complements their learning environment.
3. Regular Progress Reviews
We provide ongoing feedback to parents and caregivers after each visit, keeping you informed about your child’s progress. We also provide adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary to ensure continuous development.
4. Flexible Scheduling
We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate school hours and nursery timings, ensuring your child receives physiotherapy at times that are most beneficial for them.
