Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapy for Children & Young Adults

Physio4Kids & Young Adults provides specialist physiotherapy for children and young people across the UK. Established in 2003, our team of highly skilled chartered physiotherapists has over 20 years of experience in paediatric neurology, community care, orthopaedics, and complex conditions. We are dedicated to helping your child reach their full potential through evidence-based, family-centred care.

We work across a wide range of settings — at home, at school, in nurseries, and in other community environments — so that treatment slots naturally into your child's everyday life rather than disrupting it.

Our Services

We offer a comprehensive range of physiotherapy services tailored to each individual child's needs, delivered in community settings including home, school, and nursery.

Children's Physiotherapy

Specialist assessment and treatment for babies, young children, and older children with neurological, developmental, and musculoskeletal conditions. We support children with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, Down syndrome, hypermobility, autism, and many other conditions. Every programme is individually designed, goal-focused, and agreed with the family.

Young Adults Physiotherapy

Dedicated physiotherapy support for young adults transitioning from paediatric to adult services, ensuring continuity of specialist care during this critical period. We understand the unique physical, psychological, and social challenges of transition and tailor our input accordingly.

Treatment Approaches

Our therapists use a range of evidence-based treatment techniques including exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, rebound therapy, equine-assisted physiotherapy, NDT (Bobath), Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT), postural management, and functional rehabilitation. All programmes are individualised and goal-focused.

Case Management

Expert support for complex cases including medico-legal assessments, expert witness reports, and rehabilitation case management. Our team has extensive experience working with solicitors and case managers across the UK, providing thorough, evidence-based reports and ongoing rehabilitation coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is paediatric physiotherapy?

Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialist branch of physiotherapy focused on the assessment and treatment of babies, children, and young adults. It addresses movement difficulties, developmental delays, neurological conditions, and musculoskeletal problems through tailored exercise programmes, manual therapy, and specialised techniques.

Who does Physio4Kids treat?

Physio4Kids treats children of all ages from birth through to young adulthood, including babies with developmental concerns, children with cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, Down syndrome, autism, hypermobility, and young adults transitioning to adult services. We also support children following surgery or trauma.

Where does Physio4Kids provide services?

Physio4Kids provides community-based physiotherapy services across the UK. We deliver sessions at home, school, nursery, or other community settings to ensure treatment fits seamlessly into your child's daily life.

What happens at the first appointment?

The first appointment is a comprehensive assessment during which the physiotherapist reviews your child's history, observes movement, assesses functional abilities, and discusses your goals and concerns. A personalised treatment plan is then developed and agreed with the family.

How is treatment funded?

Treatment can be funded privately, through insurance, by a solicitor or case manager (medico-legal), or via NHS commissioning. We work with all funding routes and are happy to discuss the options most suitable for your family.
