Our approach
Sessions at Smilestones involve hands-on physiotherapy tailored to each child's needs, with a range of specialised techniques available. The practice uses evidence-based approaches including Cuevas Medek Exercises, which expose children to gravity to provoke specific developmental responses, alongside aquatic therapy for proprioception, balance and coordination work. Spider cage training with bungees offers a playful way to learn walking, running and jumping skills, while Task-Specific Electrical Stimulation (TASES) helps activate muscles and improve movement patterns for children with cerebral palsy and other movement disorders. Sessions can be structured as regular ongoing therapy or intensive blocks of at least 3 days per week for 1-3 weeks to target specific goals and milestones.
