Parents
We work together with you to assess, offer advice and treatment around the issues you and your child experience. We work to ensure children are safe in their environments and can fully participate in all aspects of their life.
Children’s Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams offer universal services that support all children and young people in City & Hackney.
Get Help
Our focus is on supporting those around the child to encourage their growth and development, helping to identify and address any issues early on to prevent future challenges. This includes drop in clinics, where you can book a 15min session with an OT or Physio to ask for advice. We offer targeted workshops for common childhood concerns. We also see children for individualised therapy and take self referrals.
