Hazel Lee - Children's Physiotherapist
I am a children’s physiotherapist providing Physiotherapy in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas with over 20 years of experience working in the NHS, more than 16 of those working exclusively with children.
I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy with an Honours degree in Physiotherapy; a member of the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists and registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council.
Conditions
I treat babies, children and teenagers in the comfort of their own home with a range of conditions. Childrens are not just small adults and therefore are treated differently. They often wish for different outcomes than adults. Physiotherapy also needs to be more fun!
Below is a list of conditions that I will treat (although the list is not exhaustive!)
If you are unsure, please contact me for an informal discussion about your child.
Neurological Conditions
• For example – cerebral palsy, spina bifida, acquired brain injury, muscular dystrophy and other genetic conditions.
Long Term Conditions
• Chronic fatigue/ME
• Chronic pain
• Any long term condition resulting in deconditioning or lack of strength & fitness.
Milestones
• Failing to reach motor milestones such as sitting, standing & walking can be a concern. I can assess, treat where required & offer ideas to try at home.
Coordination & Balance
• Concerns regarding reduced balance, increased falls, inability to ride a bike independently.
• Diagnosed concerns e.g. developmental coordination disorder (DCD) or dyspraxia.
Book Appointment
I love working with children and hope that is clearly evident during my sessions.

Rehabilitation
• Following injury, illness or surgery when further physiotherapy would be beneficial
• This could be during/after cancer treatment, after a fracture, following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery (SDR) or at any other time when additional physiotherapy is needed.
Why choose me?
I strongly believe that you and your child should be at the centre of the therapy journey – it is very important that therapy is directed according to the unique needs of each family.

Testimonials
"We've been working with Hazel for 6 months now after my son incurred a brain injury. The difference in that period has been incredible and F looks forward to Hazel coming every week. Couldn't recommend highly enough"
"We were very happy with Hazel's input. She was extremely knowledgeable and we felt our views were listened to"
"Hazel came to see my 11 year old who was suffering from back and rib pain. She was incredibly thorough and very knowledgeable. Even though my daughter is at a "tricky age", Hazel completely won her over."
