Paediatric Physiotherapy

Our paediatric physiotherapists provide advice, treatment and support to help your child reach their full potential and recover from injury or illness.

Children's Services / young children playing

Injuries, illness or disability can mean your child might be affected by a wide range of conditions including respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. We carry out assessments that look at how a difficulty is impacting your child's life and the likelihood that we can make a difference.

We work together with you and other agencies, such as your child's school, to help your child through movement and exercise and manual therapy. We also provide education and advice. This treatment can take place in various places including hospital, at home, or another community setting such as your child's school or nursery.


Advice line 

The physiotherapy advice line runs on Tuesdays between 11 and 1pm on 0141 314 4624, this service is open to children and young people under the age of 14 years.

With the advice line service we hope to provide families with quick and easy access to our knowledge and expertise where there are ongoing concerns regarding physical development which have not been alleviated with universal level advice and reassurance.

Children with complex conditions requiring multidisciplinary support should still be referred using the existing pathway.
