Many children need support from a physiotherapist at some time during their very early years to adolescence.  This support may be sought for immediate advice and treatment relating to concerns of posture and movement to acute injuries.  However, children with long term conditions or disabilities, may require therapy throughout their childhood and into adulthood.

This is why The Movement Centre have now joined the ‘Find A Physiotherapist’ directory. We support children who have long term conditions that affect their movement control. We focus on giving the child the best chance of reaching their full potential, working on increased strength and control of their movement.

The Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP) has launched an online directory for parents seeking to Find a Children’s Physiotherapist, who can provide the specialist skills to work with their child.

All qualified physiotherapists, including those at The Movement Centre are regulated by the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and children’s physiotherapists, have additional expertise in child development and childhood conditions.  They are specialist practitioners, with the right skill base and knowledge to deliver the best care for babies, children and young adults.

Some parents choose to seek advice and treatment from an independent or private physiotherapist to supplement their NHS care. Users can search by postcode or the physiotherapist’s name and can filter results by conditions treated, interventions and treatments offered, and /or treatment locations.

The Find a Children’s Physiotherapist Directory, including guidance notes and FAQs, can be found on the APCP website at: https://apcp.csp.org.uk/content/find-childrens-physiotherapist
