About the service
Paediatric Physiotherapy specialise in children and young people between 0-18 years, or 19 years if your child is in full time education within a Worcestershire special school. Physiotherapists will usually be involved at an early stage of your child’s development and work with active exercise. They focus on joint range, muscle tone, movement and gross motor activities.
Please visit our Children's Therapy Hub for information, resources, referrals and contact information.
