Paediatric Physiotherapy

Children present a whole range of different conditions that respond well to physiotherapy. It is not just a mini version of adult physio – it requires specialist knowledge and experience – not to mention an easy and relaxed approach so they find the sessions fun as well!  Our specialst paediatric physiotherapist, Kate Searle,  is experienced in treating children with a range of conditions such as Osgood Schlatters, Perthes, fractures etc. and is also experienced in treating babies, children and young people with a range of different conditions (ages birth to 16 years).

What can our paediatric physiotherapist help with? 

• Back or neck pain (including scoliosis or concerns about posture).
• Growth related pains (including Osgood Schlatters and Severs).
• Sports related injuries.
• Rehabilitation after fractures.
• Rehabilitation after Orthopaedic surgery.
• Other paediatric specific conditions such as perthes or juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Kate also has a wealth of experience in treating babies and young children. She can offer assessment, advice and treatment if needed on the following:
