Hydrotherapy
Paediatric aquatic therapy is a great alternative to land based therapy to help children improve strength, range of motion/flexibility, balance, coordination, endurance, and walking goals. The buoyancy of the water helps reduce human body weight and allows children to move in ways they simply can't on land.
​
It is both a fun and relaxing way to complete exercises in warm water.
EHCP reports
An education health and care plan is a legal document that described a child or young person’s special educational needs. The document has to list all of the young person's special educational needs, and provisions to meet each of the needs, and that provision has to be specific, detailed, and quantified.
As a physiotherapist, we can provide detailed reports to support the application process. Please contact us for further information about this.
Supporting charity applications
We are happy to support you in applying for charitable funding from local and national charities for equipment based on the individual needs of each client.
