Success Physiotherapy

02/09/2025

I mainly work alone with my lovely families but over the last couple of weeks have worked with Rachel Moyes, from Occupational Therapy Edinburgh, doing some useful sessions with a child who recently has been in hospital.

When working with another therapist, communication is vital to ensure that common goals can be achieved in a purposeful way.

If you feel that a collaborative approach with Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy would be helpful for your child, please drop me a message and we can have a discussion.

I ventured into East Lothian and visited the Balgone Sunflower Trail just outside North Berwick on Sunday and noticed that they had beach wheelchairs to borrow. According to their website, they have an adult and paediatric wheelchairs available.

It was a lovely place to visit and although the car park was busy, still was very peaceful 😊
Unfortunately it appears to have finished for the season but runs every August.

Hi all,
Apologies for the radio silence over the summer - a combination of holidays, work and being a mum has meant that my spinning social media plate has come crashing to the ground!

It’s the week when most of the kids are going back to school.
If you haven’t considered the important school bag, the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP) have a handy leaflet on things to consider when choosing a school bag.

It’s nearly time for me to close my doors for a little while for a spot of rest and relaxation.
I won’t be replying to emails until my return so bear with me if you’re haven’t heard back in a wee while, I haven’t forgotten about you!
After the 7th, I am around for most of the summer so please get in touch for a chat about your child.
Happy summer holidays!

Had a lovely wee morning off to attend my daughter's sports day today AND IT WAS SUNNY! So excited to not have to dig out "the big coat" (which is usual for sports day) that I had to share it with you.

Hope everyone has a successful sports day if it's still to happen.
