NHS Lanarkshire Paediatric Physiotherapy Official page of NHS Lanarkshire Children and Young People's Physiotherapy Service. What is physiotherapy? What is paediatric physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that promotes the health and well-being of all. Physiotherapists are responsible for the assessment and physical rehabilitation of those needing treatment due to accident, injury, ageing, disease or disability. Paediatric physiotherapy is the treatment and care of babies, children and young people from birth to 19 years. Paediatric physiotherapists bring their generic skills as physiotherapists and have additional knowledge and experience of child development and of childhood disabilities. What do paediatric physiotherapists do? First we carry out an assessment and then offer a plan to suit the needs of the child. This may include regular input or advice on exercises, play activities and handling your child. We may offer to provide equipment that may help your child. We work closely with the family, other health professionals, educational staff and others who may be involved with the child. Our aim is to find ways to help the child make the most of their abilities. We see children in their own homes, schools, nurseries and clinics, whichever is most convenient. Some conditions that we can help with include:
Walking problems
Coordination problems
Developmental delay
Neonatal care
Neurological conditions e.g. Cerebral Palsy, Head Injury
Congenital Conditions and syndromes e.g. Spina Bifida, Down’s Syndrome
Orthopaedic conditions e.g. Talipes, Torticollis, Plagiocephaly, Erb’s Palsy
Neuromuscular disorders e.g. Muscular Dystrophy
Respiratory conditions e.g. Cystic Fibrosis
Rheumatological Conditions e.g. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Acute injuries e.g. post fracture, muscular or ligament sprains
