Every child is assessed with a warm, fun and caring approach. Hannah will look at how your child moves in different positions (gross motor skills), for example, on their tummy, back, side and upright. All assessments will be relevant to your child’s stage of development.
Hannah will look at their muscle strength, range of movement and bone alignment, assess their muscle tone, balance, core strength, motor planning and coordination. During the assessment, Hannah will evaluate if your child has any weakness, tightness or floppiness in muscle groups and advise you how to address these with play based exercises.
Hannah always ensures that her treatments are completely evidence-based and provide professional assessments, treatment, support and advice for every child and family.
Tightness (hypertonia), floppiness (hypotonia), hypermobility, muscle/core weakness, gross motor delay, postural management, equipment management.
Hannah will provide advice on exercises that you can practice at home, in between sessions and often combines her physiotherapy treatments with hydrotherapy too.
Your child can be seen at home, school, nursery or anywhere where you feel your child will be most comfortable. Hydrotherapy facilities will be organised by Hannah as and when required.
With every clock of 6 sessions purchased, you will receive one session completely free! Session prices are £75 for the initial assessment (travel costs may apply), and £70 for a 1 hour treatment session (travel costs may apply).

By doing so, Hannah can talk through any concerns that you have and discuss whether paediatric physiotherapy can help your situation.
During your first face to face appointment Hannah will conduct a play based initial assessment of your child as she begins with treatments.
