Where will my child be seen? back to top

Most children are seen in their own homes. They tend to be more relaxed in their own familiar environments. Seeing children at home also helps to establish a home management programme including exercises and activities chosen for your child that are appropriate for your lifestyle and your home.

We can provide nursery and school visits in most areas as necessary. Children can also be seen with child minders or carers.


Can my child receive physiotherapy from FamilyPhysio even though they have an NHS physiotherapist? back to top

At Family Physio, with consent, we ensure effective communication with all NHS professionals involved in your child’s care. This will ensure your child benefits from the provision of both services.

We may also need to liase with education departments, with your consent.

By being able to have this open communication it helps to ensure the best outcome for your child.


How long do the sessions last? back to top

Initial assessments generally last between 45 minutes to an hour. Length of follow up sessions are dependent on the age of the child and the condition with which they present.
