Our Services

  • ND Therapy

    Neuro developmental therapy is the use of therapeutic handling techniques and repetitive exercise to promote functional patterns of movement to improve your child’s independence and quality of life. This will involve repetitive functional task practise to help improve your child’s ability to participate in transitions. Exercise will be delivered through play and incorporate activities your child enjoys!

  • Postural Management

    A 24 hour programme of handling, treatment and positioning to promote your child’s development, comfort and reduce the risk of destructive postures. The aim is to promote symmetry in your child’s body shape in every position they adopt, including lying, sitting and standing. 24 hour postural management will include the use of specialist equipment and orthotics.

  • Hydrotherapy

    Physiotherapy led exercise in warm water! The properties and temperature of the hydrotherapy pool allow for greater range of movement, opportunities for muscle strengthening, relaxation and functional movement practice. It is also incredibly fun!

  • Exercise Prescription and Rehabilitation

    Fun and bespoke exercise and rehabilitation programmes, tailored around your child’s needs and interests. The focus of your child’s programme can be around mobility and flexibility, strengthening, balance and core stability, and developing gross motor skills.

  • Developmental Therapy

    Targeted sequential exercise therapy delivered through play to encourage the development of your child’s motor milestones. This is a progressive programme of activities, based on normal child development and gross motor milestones. You will feel confident and equipped to support your child’s progression!

  • DMI Therapy

    DMI Therapy

    Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is used to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones.

    The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response to prescribed dynamic exercises.

    DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones.

Testimonials

“Kaylee was fantastic with my son who was suffering from hip pain during and after playing lots of sport. She spent time listening to his concerns and gave him lots of muscle stretching and strengthening exercises for him to do regularly which has made such a difference. The pain was becoming a worry for him only being young but she reassured him it was just his bodies way of telling him he needed the right routine to look after himself for his body to cope with such an active lifestyle. Highly recommended ⭐.” C’s Mum
