• Our approach

  PhysioChoice combines years of expert diagnosis with evidence-based treatment and rehabilitation, tailoring each approach to the individual's needs and goals. Sessions begin with a detailed assessment by a physiotherapist who develops a personalised treatment plan. The practice uses a range of modalities including hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, dry needling, clinical pilates, and hydrotherapy depending on what suits your child. Treatment focuses on returning children to function and activity as quickly as possible, with the physiotherapist reviewing progress along the way and adjusting the plan as needed. The team emphasises listening to each patient's concerns and working collaboratively to achieve the best outcomes.

• Working with families

  PhysioChoice works collaboratively with parents and carers throughout treatment. The physiotherapist takes time to listen to concerns about your child's condition during the initial assessment and involves you in developing the personalised treatment plan. Testimonials highlight that practitioners are caring listeners who explain their approach and work with families to resolve problems and support recovery. The practice values understanding each individual's unique circumstances and tailoring advice and strategies to suit the family's needs, including providing guidance on exercises and strategies that can be reinforced at home to support your child's progress.

• Your first visit

  Your first appointment typically lasts 30 minutes, during which the physiotherapist will take a detailed history of your child's condition, perform a thorough assessment, and work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan. You'll be asked to wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being treated. The physiotherapist will answer any questions and explain what to expect in the sessions ahead. After the initial assessment, the physiotherapist may provide an estimate of the expected treatment duration and will review your child's progress along the way to ensure the treatment plan remains on track.
