TO MEET THEIR OPPORTUNITIES
SO THEY NO LONGER FEEL CUT OFF,
OR SHUT OFF FROM LEARNING.

And if we spot the signs early, we can be proactive, rather than reactive, putting the right systems in place early to create those strong foundations for sustainable development. And with small tweaks we can turn day to day play, and precious family time into key movements for progress.

No one knows your child like you.
I’m here to help you push for the change you need.

I get it, I’ve been there myself, so I know how it can feel when the system doesn’t seem to see you, or hear you, or recognise you. And I want that to stop, for good. No more feeling alone or lost, questioning every action or thinking you’re handling it badly as a parent. Just positive, actionable next steps to create progress based on your family’s needs.

With a change of mindset and approach there is another way,
your way.

And that’s where my 1:1 Intensive Therapy packages come in. Designed to deliver all the tools you need, supported by actionable goals, so you can feel empowered and confident to understand and notice what head control trunk control and quality of movement, built on sustainable solid foundations look like so you can continue to build those foundations for movement at home.

Mixing my professional expertise, with my personal experience my approach is holistic, hands on, and led by play to help

YOU FIND YOUR WAY FORWARD.

MORE ABOUT
THE PROCESS
Red Line

INITIAL CONSULTATION
The process always starts with your child and your family’s needs. That’s where the initial 60 minute face to face assessment comes in. Before your consultation, I send through a form to help you get really focused on what’s important so we can make the most of our time together face to face.

Red Line

SUMMARY REPORT
After a thorough, hands on assessment that’s led by play, you’ll get a chance to practice what we’ve been through and all of the advice and some key things to remember will be sent through in a summary report at the end of our session including ideas to share with school, nursery and your child’s professional.

Red Line

STRIVE TO THRIVE INTENSIVE SESSIONS
Depending on whether you select the 3 day or 5 day intensive package we’ll work out the best time for your needs and create a tailored approach based on exactly what your child needs. Everything is led by play and you’ll also have the option to try Hippotherapy so we can really focus your child’s Physio.

Red Line

STRIVE TO THRIVE PROGRESS REPORT
You and your family will receive a summary report of our journey together as standard, but ​if you want to create a full report to share with your health and education professionals, you can opt to upgrade to this in the month following your assessment, providing your child’s needs have not changed. If you have Medico-Legal client, please enquire directly.

HYPERVIBE

We know there is a growing use for whole body vibration in Physiotherapy. In particular, there are excellent evidence for outcomes in muscle strengthening, flexibility and bone density in children, especially those with Cerebral Palsy.

However, the type of machine you use is vital and there are a number of barriers to accessing the right one, not least the big financial commitment involved in buying your own. All the evidence indicates that the way you use your machine is so important. Getting the frequency and duration right, along with positioning your child in the correct way can be so confusing for parents when you only have the generalised information from the manufacturer.

Our vibration treatments remove all the uncertainty of buying and using your own machine, and give you the professional guidance you need to get the best results. If you already have your own machine, a one-off session will help you understand the settings, and give you all the tools you need to be able to use it safely at home. Alternatively, you can book a block of sessions to use the machine in a clinic environment. This is a great option if you would feel more confident with support, or would like to try it out before you make the commitment to buy your own.

 

The HyperVibe service includes:
  •  An assessment of your child’s needs by a qualified practitioner
  • Hands on support and guidance whilst using the machine in a safe and controlled environment.
  • A comprehensive action plan, considering your child’s individual joint structures, posture and positioning needs - to take away and use at home or during a block of sessions in our clinic space.
