If you are concerned about your child and feel they may need a referral to physiotherapy, please seek advice from your GP or an appropriate health practitioner who may already be involved with your child’s care.
Things you may be concerned about that a physiotherapist can help with may included:
- Delayed developmental milestones eg not rolling, sitting, crawling or walking when you would normally expect.
- Differences in how my child uses one side of the body compared to the other
- Loss of skills that they previously had
- Pain
- Change in walking pattern
- Difficulty achieving functional tasks
- Concerns raised from others involved in your child’s care eg teachers or carers.
Please discuss any concerns you may have with a GP or other appropriate health practitioner to identify what assessment, investigations or support you first may need before seeing a physiotherapist.
