Expert therapy in the comfort of your own home.
One-to-one physiotherapy sessions delivered in your child's own home environment. Each session follows your child's individual treatment plan and includes a home exercise programme for you to carry out between sessions. I believe therapy works best when it fits naturally into a child's everyday life.
Specialist neurological rehabilitation for children.
Dynamic Movement Intervention is a physiotherapy approach designed for children with neurological and developmental conditions. I hold full certification in DMI Levels A, B and C. Through carefully targeted exercises and movements, DMI works on movement, strength, balance and independence.
Hands-on techniques to support movement and ease tension.
Specialist soft tissue therapy using Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM), Medical Taping and Dynamic Taping techniques. These approaches aim to ease muscle tension and support joint mobility and movement patterns. Kinesio taping can also be used to support muscles and joints between sessions.
Reflex and sensory integration therapy.
MNRI (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) is a specialist approach that works with primitive reflexes, sensory processing and motor development. I am a certified MNRI Neurotactile Integration practitioner.
Expert guidance on specialist therapeutic equipment.
I am trained in a range of specialist therapeutic equipment used to support children with complex physical needs.
- Turtlebrace — a dynamic orthotic system designed to support trunk control, posture and active movement in children with neurological conditions. I can advise on suitability, fitting and how to include Turtlebrace in your child's therapy programme.
- Innowalk — a powered movement device that provides assisted walking and movement for children who are unable to walk independently. I am trained to use and advise on the Innowalk to support standing, weight bearing and active movement.
- Galileo Vibration Plate — a whole-body vibration device used to stimulate muscle activity and support motor development. I can advise on and include Galileo vibration therapy in your child's treatment programme.
I can advise families on the suitability of these devices, support applications for funding and work alongside equipment suppliers so your child gets the most from their equipment.
Supporting your child's posture.
A comprehensive postural assessment and management programme, including advice on specialist equipment, splints, orthoses and positioning. I work closely with equipment suppliers and other professionals so your child has the right support in all positions — sitting, standing and lying.
Helping you support your child every day.
Dedicated sessions to teach parents, carers and family members how to carry out home programmes safely and effectively. I will show you handling and positioning techniques, how to use equipment correctly and how to build therapy into your child's daily routine.
Supporting your child in their educational setting.
I can visit your child at school or nursery to assess their needs in that environment, advise teachers and support staff on handling and positioning, and liaise with the SENCO, so therapy and the school setting work together.
Professional reports to support your child's care.
I provide detailed written reports, including progress reports for families, EHCP reports for Education, Health and Care Plan applications, school and nursery visit reports, and referral letters to other professionals and specialists.
Working alongside your child's wider care team.
I can take part in Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings as part of your child's wider care team, alongside paediatricians, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, school staff, social workers and other professionals involved in your child's care. Working together keeps everyone aligned on goals, approach and recommendations. I can also contribute written reports and clinical updates to support MDT discussions.
