BABY M.O.T
I provide a top to toe assessment of your baby including head shape and position, developmental milestones, an assessment of their hips and spine and a thorough neurological assessment.
DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
I will complete a thorough assessment of your child's physical development and provide a treatment plan to support your little one progressing with their gross motor skills.
REHABILITATION FOLLOWING ILLNESS OR INJURY
If your child has been in hospital following illness or injury, I can support with general physical and cardiovascular rehabilitation. I have many years of experience working with children with cancer, respiratory illnesses, other medical conditions and children who have been involved in accidents.
I will work with you and your child to set meaningful goals and provide you with a personalised exercise programme.
LONG TERM CONDITIONS
There has been an increase in the number of children and young people living with conditions such as long covid, chronic fatigue, functional neurological disorder and cancer.
I can support with fatigue management, sleep hygiene and breathing exercises alongside gradually increasing strength and cardiovascular endurance. I will support you to work towards individualised goals which are meaningful, realistic and achievable for your child/teen.
I also offer 1:1 yoga sessions for children and teens, which can be particularly beneficial for these conditions. More info here.
