Specialist Physiotherapy for the Future Generation

At Future Generation Physio we work with babies, children, teenagers and young adults with the following conditions or symptoms (this list is not exhaustive but gives examples):-

• Babies (premature, talipes, erb palsy, failure to thrive, head preference, congenital muscular torticollis, ‘flat head syndrome’, difficulty feeding, colic)
• Developmental delay and low muscle tone/’floppy child’, emerging diagnosis
• Neurological conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, Aquired Brain Injury, cancers of the brain or spinal cord, Spina Bifida, Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, metabolic disorders
• Learning difficulties with associated motor impairment
• Syndromes with motor impairment such as Downs or Rett syndrome
• Orthopaedic conditions (long term conditions such as Scoliosis, Perthes disease, Achondroplasia, Arthrogryposis, connective tissue disorders or shorter term requiring rehabilitation e.g. fractures, developmental dysplasia of the hips)
• Musculoskeletal issues such as pain, sports injury, 'growing pains', symptomatic hypermobility
• Posture and gait problems such as in-toeing, flat feet or tip toe walking
• Difficulties with co-ordination, balance or endurance
• Obesity (must be in conjunction with a multidisciplinary team)

We also provide developmental monitoring for ‘at risk infants’ e.g. one of multiple birth, traumatic birth, post neonatal intensive care, very low birth weight or premature babies.

Intensive blocks are also available pre or post botulinum toxin/surgery or during periods of change.

A comprehensive assessment will be carried out in the comfort and convenience of your own home or in our child friendly clinic. Following this an individualised specific treatment plan will be developed, including the setting of patient centred goals. Review sessions will monitor and progress ongoing treatment programmes.

Our aim is to enable your child or young person to reach their full potential. 

At Future Generation Physio we offer a wide variety of physiotherapy treatments tailored to meet the child’s individual goals and be appropriate to their age and abilities. Treatment may be at home, clinic, schools/ nursery's and include:-

• Personal exercise programmes including strengthening, stretches, balance, co-ordination, postural control exercises, gait re-education and pain management techniques.  This could include referral to our Rehabilitation Personal Trainer for block of treatment 
• Fun play activities and exercises to promote acquisition of physical milestones 
• Guidance on positioning, handling and functional activities to allow therapy to be integrated into everyday life      
• ‘hands on’ facilitation of normal movement patterns and strategies to assist in the management of abnormal muscle tone (Neuro-Developmental Therapy/ Bobath)
• 6 or 8 week blocks of Targetted Intensive Physiotherapy focused on specific skill acquistion
• Advice on the provision of specialist equipment such as orthotics, 24 hour postural management equipment and mobility aids
• Therapeutic Elastic Taping / Functional Electrical Stimulation 
• Hydrotherapy (dependant on pool availability – telephone for further information)

We have no waiting lists and we offer flexible treatment times, including daytime, evening and weekend appointments.  Frequency of appointment is depending on need and family requirements

We work closely with NHS colleagues to ensure a collaberative multi-disciplinary approach.
