Who are we?
We are a team of community based health professionals who are experts in movement and child development.
Our team is made up of qualified physiotherapists, and physiotherapy assistants who support the delivery of the service.
Where do we work?
We see children and young people in a variety of community settings including children’s centres, nurseries, mainstream schools, special schools and at home.
Who do we see?
We work with children and young people aged 0-18 (0-19 if the young person is in special education provision) who have a Liverpool GP.
We support those with a physical difficulty which impacts on their daily life due to their Neurodisability, neuromuscular condition or developmental delay.
Who do we NOT see?
We do not see children or young people with musculoskeletal conditions including back ache, recent fractures / sprains, talipes or knee pain.
Who can refer?
Any professionals can refer to our service by completing our referral form with parent / carer consent.
We also take self-referrals from parents
or carers over the phone.
All referrals are triaged by our specialist physiotherapists. If a referral is not accepted the referrer will be contacted to explain why.
