We carry out a thorough physiotherapeutic interview, review medical records. We then carry out functional tests, check motor patterns, in larger children we examine the correctness of posture. After the diagnosis, we assess whether there are developmental abnormalities and determine the main aim of the therapy and its plan. We show parents care instructions individually tailored to their child's needs.

Choose a time for the child's activity and try to ensure that they are not hungry but also not immediately after eating. Sleepy and hungry children will not cooperate with the therapist and it will be difficult to have an accurate and authoritative diagnosis. Bring your child's health book, additional tests (if any), a tetanic nappy and optionally a favourite toy.

We only make home visits in special cases. E.g. when a child cannot leave the house for some reason or if he/she is uncomfortable with a change of environment. Please contact us. We will try to find a solution.

The number of visits needed is determined individually after an examination of the child during the first visit to our centre. The number of planned visits is an estimate and every child is different and reacts differently to therapy. This is why we assess the child's progress during rehabilitation and modify the plan if necessary.

We do not perform procedures reimbursed by the National Health Service.

We accept payment in cash and by credit card.

Yes, if long-term rehabilitation is required, we suggest buying a package. The package price is significantly lower than the price of a single visit. Package patients also have priority in registering with therapists and are therefore guaranteed a place with the therapist of their choice, as well as a place at the most convenient time for them.

Of course. Depending on the age of the patient and the problem he or she is presenting, we will select a suitable therapist. Our medical registrars can help you with this, providing information about the individual specialists and answering all your questions.

Yes, we have therapists who specialise in postural correction. We also have appropriate rooms and equipment to facilitate such therapy.

Yes, we have not only therapists but also sensory integration diagnosticians in our team. After 2 diagnostic visits you will receive a descriptive document. It is not necessary to have a diagnosis in order to start sensory integration therapy, but we encourage you to do so because on the basis of the diagnosis individual therapy goals are created and therapy is more effective.

This depends on many factors. Firstly, the age at which the child is, and secondly, the rate of overgrowth of the fontanels in children. It is important to assess the degree and type of head flattening when assessing the chances of head alignment. The involvement of the parents in their child's therapy will also be an important factor; it will significantly increase the chances of final success. At the very first visit after examining your child, you will be told whether we are able to change the shape of the head by carrying out physiotherapy treatments. If not, we will tell you about other solutions, such as helmet therapy.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult for parents to judge, especially if it is their first child. However, it is often the case that parents have a good instinct and can sense if there is something abnormal in their child's development. If in doubt, it is always advisable to consult a specialist, who will be able to determine by means of a detailed examination whether the child's tension is developmentally normal.

Yes, we have extensive experience in providing therapy for children with both Asperger's syndrome and autism. Our team can provide comprehensive therapy for children, providing them with rehabilitation, psychological, speech therapy and special education classes.
