About Children's Physiotherapy in Westminster
Westminster includes a mix of residential neighbourhoods, busy central areas and family communities across Central London. Our home-based paediatric physiotherapy service supports babies, children and young people in Westminster, allowing physiotherapy to take place in a familiar environment where everyday movement and activities can be assessed.
At Rehab Therapist Westminster, our private paediatric physiotherapists provide personalised support for children with a range of developmental, neurological, orthopaedic and mobility needs. A child may need physiotherapy while working towards developmental milestones, improving balance and coordination, recovering following surgery or injury, or developing strength and movement for everyday activities. Home visits allow physiotherapy to be based around the child’s normal surroundings and routine. Parents and carers can also be involved where appropriate, helping to make exercises and activities easier to continue between appointments.
