The first assessment would take place at your home to ensure that your child is at their most comfortable. It will also involve a physical assessment which may include: hands-on assessment, observation of your child’s movement and your child demonstrating their movement skills.
After assessment, we will have a discussion about the issues identified and recommendations for ongoing input. You will be actively involved in joint goal setting and treatment planning.

Ending your sessions with Success Physiotherapy could be for many reasons:
• The planned goal has been achieved
• You have adequate skills to manage your child’s condition
• Your child is finding it difficult to engage with physiotherapy
• Physiotherapy for your child is not your main priority at this time
If you have finished your sessions with Success Physiotherapy for whatever reason and decide to return, then just give us a call to resume sessions.
No. You can refer your child by emailing or calling me. I am also happy to have a no-obligation chat by phone to allow you to decide whether you would like to be involved with Success Physiotherapy.
Please call us to discuss treatment options and their costs.
Yes. If you already have an NHS physiotherapist (or are currently on the waiting list to see an NHS physiotherapist) then you can also be seen by Success Physiotherapy. Good communication is essential when more than one physiotherapist is involved with a child and their family and I would, with your permission, call your child’s physiotherapist to discuss ways in which we can work collaboratively.
Of course. If you wish to stop input from Success Physiotherapy please do not feel reluctant or embarrassed, part of my role is to initiate physiotherapy at the earliest possible stage – a key benefit of choosing private treatment.
No, they need to be comfortable and be able to move easily. Usually, during the assessment period, clothing may need to be minimised eg shorts and vest/vest and nappy to allow for good observation of movement.
Not usually. I often use the child’s favourite toys to engage them in physiotherapy (and I often bring some of my own). Occasionally I may ask you to use easily obtained inexpensive small pieces of equipment but I will often just use items found around the home.
Of course. Children usually feel most relaxed with their parents in the room and are more likely to engage with physiotherapy when they are happy. I also encourage parental participation as physiotherapy should not end when the session finishes – parents and family members are essential members of the physiotherapy team and I will discuss activities and handling opportunities to practice between sessions.
