Comprehensive Physiotherapy Assessments
Every child develops differently, and physiotherapy plays an important role in supporting movement, physical development, and recovery from injury. During appointments, our experienced paediatric physiotherapists carry out a detailed assessment of your child’s posture, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, gait, mobility, gross motor skills, and overall physical function.

We assess babies, children, and adolescents with developmental delay, delayed motor milestones, torticollis, toe walking, hypermobility, poor coordination, balance problems, sports injuries, joint or muscle pain, scoliosis, neurological conditions, rehabilitation following injury or surgery, and other concerns affecting movement or physical development.

Understanding Children's Physiotherapy
Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialised area of healthcare that focuses on improving movement, strength, coordination, balance, posture, and physical function in babies, children, and adolescents. Every child develops at their own pace, and physiotherapy helps children overcome physical challenges, achieve important developmental milestones, recover from injury, and maximise their independence. As children grow, treatment programmes are carefully adapted to meet their changing needs while supporting healthy physical development at every stage.
Paediatric physiotherapy can benefit children with developmental, neurological, orthopaedic, musculoskeletal, and sporting conditions, as well as those recovering from illness or surgery. Through comprehensive assessment, evidence-based treatment, and personalised rehabilitation programmes, physiotherapy helps improve mobility, reduce pain, enhance strength and coordination, build confidence, and enable children to participate more fully in school, sport, and everyday activities while achieving their full physical potential.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists assess and treat a wide range of conditions affecting children’s movement, mobility, and physical development. These include developmental delay, delayed motor milestones, torticollis, plagiocephaly-related movement concerns, toe walking, hypermobility, joint and muscle pain, sports injuries, poor posture, scoliosis, cerebral palsy, coordination difficulties (dyspraxia), balance problems, fractures, ligament injuries, rehabilitation following surgery, and recovery after illness or injury. We also support children with neurological, orthopaedic, and long-term medical conditions that affect movement and everyday physical function.
Because every child is unique, treatment is always tailored to their individual diagnosis, age, developmental stage, lifestyle, and personal goals. Through personalised rehabilitation programmes and ongoing monitoring, we help children improve strength, mobility, coordination, confidence, and independence, enabling them to participate more fully in school, sport, and everyday activities while achieving the best possible long-term outcomes.
Diagnosis & Treatment
Following assessment, we provide clear explanations and a personalised physiotherapy programme tailored to your child’s individual needs. Treatment may include exercises to improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, mobility, gait, and motor skills, together with advice for parents on supporting progress at home. Where appropriate, rehabilitation programmes are adapted as your child develops to ensure continued progress towards their goals.
Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, we can also arrange further medical assessment, imaging, or referral to other paediatric specialists where appropriate. Through coordinated care and ongoing review, we aim to maximise your child’s physical development, confidence, and long-term wellbeing.
When Might Your Child Benefit from Physiotherapy?
Your child may benefit from physiotherapy if they are delayed in reaching physical milestones, have difficulty walking, running, or participating in physical activities, experience frequent falls, complain of joint or muscle pain, have poor posture, reduced strength, balance or coordination difficulties, or are recovering from an injury, illness, or operation. Physiotherapy may also be recommended for children with neurological, developmental, or orthopaedic conditions that affect movement, mobility, and physical function.
Early specialist assessment allows treatment to begin before movement difficulties become more significant and helps children achieve the best possible outcomes. Through personalised rehabilitation programmes and evidence-based treatment, we help improve strength, mobility, coordination, balance, and confidence, enabling children to become more independent and participate more fully in school, sport, and everyday life.
Concerned About Your Child's Movement or Physical Development?
If you are concerned about your child’s movement, coordination, strength, balance, posture, or physical development, an early physiotherapy assessment can help identify the underlying cause and support your child’s progress. Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists provide expert assessment, personalised rehabilitation programmes, and evidence-based treatment to help children improve mobility, recover from injury, achieve important developmental milestones, and reach their full physical potential.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can paediatric physiotherapy help with?
Paediatric physiotherapy can help children with developmental delay, delayed motor milestones, sports injuries, joint and muscle pain, hypermobility, torticollis, toe walking, scoliosis, cerebral palsy, coordination difficulties, balance problems, rehabilitation following surgery, and many other conditions affecting movement and physical development.
What happens during my child's first physiotherapy appointment?
Your child’s first appointment includes a detailed assessment of their movement, posture, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, gait, developmental milestones, and overall physical function. Following the assessment, we explain our findings, discuss your child’s goals, and develop a personalised treatment programme tailored to their individual needs.
How many physiotherapy sessions will my child need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your child’s diagnosis, age, severity of symptoms, and treatment goals. Some children benefit from a small number of appointments, while others require ongoing rehabilitation and regular review to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Will my child need exercises at home?
Yes. Home exercise programmes are often an important part of physiotherapy and help reinforce the progress made during appointments. We provide practical guidance and age-appropriate exercises that can be easily incorporated into your child’s daily routine.
Can physiotherapy help my child avoid surgery?
In some cases, physiotherapy can improve strength, mobility, posture, and function sufficiently to reduce symptoms and optimise recovery without surgery. If surgical treatment is required, physiotherapy also plays an important role before and after the procedure to maximise recovery and long-term outcomes.
Will my child need ongoing physiotherapy?
Some children require only short-term treatment, while others benefit from longer-term physiotherapy to support their development or manage ongoing medical conditions. Any treatment programme is tailored to your child’s individual needs and reviewed regularly as they progress.
Do I need a referral?
No. You do not usually need a GP or hospital referral to arrange a private paediatric physiotherapy appointment at London Paediatric Clinic.
How quickly can my teenager be seen?
We understand that movement difficulties, injuries, and developmental concerns can affect every aspect of a child’s daily life. London Paediatric Clinic offers prompt appointments and, where available, same-day consultations, providing rapid access to experienced paediatric physiotherapists and personalised rehabilitation without unnecessary delays.
