Children’s Physiotherapy
At Plymouth Neurophysio, we understand that every child develops in their own unique way. Our specialist paediatric physiotherapy service supports babies, children and young people who may be experiencing difficulties with movement, coordination, strength, or physical development.
We provide individualised, evidence-based therapy to help each child build confidence, improve function, and reach their full potential.
How We Can Help
Children may benefit from physiotherapy if they have:
- Delayed motor development (rolling, sitting, crawling, walking)
- Poor balance or coordination
- Muscle weakness or stiffness
- Toe walking
- Hypermobility
- Postural concerns
We also have specialist experience supporting children with:
- Cerebral palsy
- Neuromuscular conditions (including SMA and Duchenne muscular dystrophy)
- Global developmental delay
- Spinal cord injuries
- Other neurological or genetic conditions affecting movement
We understand that every child presents differently, and therapy is always tailored to their individual needs and goals.
Our Approach
Children learn best through play, exploration, and positive experiences. Our sessions are therefore engaging, motivating, and child-centred, while remaining clinically effective.
We take a holistic, goal-led approach, working closely with families, schools, and other professionals to ensure therapy is meaningful and transferable to everyday life.
Treatment Options
We offer a wide range of specialist treatment approaches, including:
- Play-based movement therapy
- Strength, balance, and coordination training
- Postural management and positioning advice
- Hydrotherapy
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES)
- Tapping
- Manual therapy
- Bespoke developmental rehabilitation programmes
- Technology-assisted therapy, including virtual reality and interactive systems such as LusioMate and Blazepods.
All treatment programmes are individually designed to maximise engagement, progress, and functional outcomes.
Supporting Families
We recognise that parents and carers are central to a child’s progress. During sessions, we provide:
- Clear explanations and practical advice
- Strategies that fit into everyday routines
- Individualised exercise programmes
- Ongoing support and communication
Our aim is to ensure you feel confident, supported, and empowered throughout your child’s therapy journey.
