Babies
Safe, evidenced based and genuine care for your baby. From the earliest days, paediatric physiotherapy can support your baby’s muscles, joints and motor development.
Common reasons we see babies include:
Difficulty with reaching milestones or delayed gross motor skills - difficulty with tummy time, head control in sitting, delayed rolling, crawling or walking
Babies with a flat spot on their head or neck tightness (Plagiocephaly, Brachycephaly & Torticollis)
Hip dysplasia, requiring a pavlik harness or rhino brace
Premature babies or babies with a low birth weight or complex birth requiring developmental input
Positional or structural talipes (foot turned inwards/outwards from birth)
Clavicle fracture or Erb’s palsy/ Brachial Plexus Injury
Babies with hypotonia or low muscle tone
Children with motor delays relating to genetic diagnosis or disability including Trisomy 21, gene duplications/ deletions, Prada Willi Syndrome, Turner’s Syndrome
Babies & children at risk of Cerebral Palsy or who have hypertonia (Hannah is actually a Research Therapist with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance as well!)
Unsure if your child needs physio? Have you been told to wait and see? Is your gut telling you something is not quite right?
We hear this a lot, and we have answers.
You know your child best, trust your instincts. Parents are almost always the first to notice when something is not quite right with their child's movement, and getting answers early makes a real difference. There is no harm in an assessment and getting some proactive strategies early on.
