Physiotherapy and occupational therapy
Two services from one team. Many children need both, so our physiotherapists and occupational therapists plan their care together and share one set of goals with you.
Children’s physiotherapy
For babies who are slow to roll, sit or walk, children with cerebral palsy or other neurological conditions, and teenagers recovering from an injury or an operation. We build gross motor skills, strength, balance and confidence through play, exercise and hands-on treatment.
About our physiotherapy
Children’s occupational therapy
For children who find dressing, eating or handwriting hard, struggle with coordination and fine motor skills, or are overwhelmed by noise and touch. We also advise on seating, sleep systems and changes to the home.
About our occupational therapyConditions we help with
Many children come to us without a diagnosis. A concern from you, a health visitor or a nursery is enough to start.
Developmental delay
Late milestones from birth onwards, with or without a diagnosis.
Neurological conditions
Cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury and neuromuscular conditions.
SDR rehabilitation
Preparation before selective dorsal rhizotomy, then an intensive, goal-based programme afterwards, with reports for surgical teams.
Bones and joints
Hip dysplasia, hypermobility, sports injuries and recovery after surgery.
Autism and DCD
Coordination, sensory needs and joining in with everyday life.
Genetic conditions
Down’s syndrome and other genetic conditions, from birth to 19.
How we work with your family
AssessmentWe begin by getting to know your child, your family and what you are seeing, then assess how your child moves, plays and manages day to day.
A plan you agree withTogether we set goals that matter to you, and decide where therapy happens: at home, at nursery or school, or at the clinic.
Ongoing supportWe review progress regularly, adapt the plan as your child grows, and keep the people around them informed.
A specialist team since 2014
Daniel Woods founded PT Kids in 2014 after working at Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Today our physiotherapists and occupational therapists work only with babies, children and teenagers, and many families have stayed with us for years.
Our therapists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), professionally insured and members of their professional bodies.

Questions parents ask
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can contact us yourself. Health visitors, schools, consultants and case managers can also refer children to us.
Physiotherapy or occupational therapy: which does my child need?
Physiotherapy helps with movement, strength and balance. Occupational therapy helps with everyday tasks such as dressing, eating, writing and coping with sensory overload. If you are not sure, tell us what you are seeing and we will advise you.
Can my child see you alongside the NHS?
Yes. Many children we see are also under NHS care. With your consent we share our findings with their NHS team, and seeing us does not affect their place on any waiting list.
How much does it cost?
Assessments and sessions at our clinic are £85 an hour. Home and school visits can cost more because of travel, and we always confirm the fee before you book.
What ages do you see?
Babies, children and young people from birth to 19. Our service covers everything from early development worries to teenagers with long-term conditions and sports injuries.
Not sure what your child needs?
Tell us what you are seeing. We will give you an honest answer, including if that answer is no.
