Physiotherapy
Following an initial telephone consultation to understand your child's specific needs, I offer a full and thorough assessment to enable a honest expert opinion on further action. I can then provide tailored advice, programmes and/or treatment as required.
I take a holistic, hands-on approach to treatment where necessary and work closely with children, their families and other professionals to ensure they reach their full potential. I am passionate about working with, and empowering parents, to enable them to optimise their child’s ability. I will also incorporate elements of yoga into my physiotherapy practice where appropriate.
It is important to assess a child in their own, familiar environment: This gives you the added convenience of me coming to you. However, if required I will also see your child at nursery, school, in the playground or swimming pool.
I cover Central, Southwest and Southeast London with the M25. If you are unsure whether I can come to you, please get in contact.
Yoga
As well as incorporating yoga techniques into my physiotherapy practice, I can offer 1:1 yoga sessions following an initial assessment, whether they have movement challenges and/or special needs or not.
Getting children started involved in Yoga early, has been shown to be very valuable in encouraging understanding about their bodies and their minds. Other benefits include:
-
Building focus and concentration
-
Increasing confidence and positive self-image
-
Learning about the importance of movement and breathing
-
Encouraging the use of strategies to manage stress and anxiety early
-
Enabling children to talk about how they are feeling.
-
But, most of all FUN!
I will occasionally teach group sessions, but I organise these as required, based on numbers and similar need. But, please ask if you are interested in the class for your child.
