Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapy team work in collaboration with parents, Academy staff and students to assess and improve our students’ physical development and enable them to participate fully in school life. Where necessary, they liaise with other health professionals, including paediatricians, orthotists, orthopaedic surgeons, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists.

Physiotherapy input involves an initial assessment and, where appropriate, follow up interventions such as advice, recommendations about physical activity, Rebound Therapy, access to trike riding or an individual exercise program which can be for completion at home or during school. We can also make onward referrals to services like orthotics. We can contribute advice on seating, mobility aids and other specialist equipment.

Referral to the physiotherapistcan be made by any health professional, school staff member, parents or self-referral by students themselves.

For further information about referrals or if you have any questions or concerns please email the physiotherapy team.
