Postural Care Videos

The following videos have been made by the paediatric physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams in collaboration with experts by experience.

The five individual videos, along with the full-length version, can be accessed at the below links.

Developed by the paediatric physiotherapy and occupational therapy teams in collaboration with experts by experience, the videos explain what postural care is, why it is important, and how it can be effectively supported.

The series covers:

  1. Introduction to Posture and Postural Care
  2. Introduction to the Children’s Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy teams
  3. Postural Care Within the Home and School
  4. Types of Postural Care Equipment
  5. Postural Care Summary

It is important that information about postural care is accessible and easy to understand for everyone who uses our services. By involving parents and carers with lived experience, the content has been designed to be informative, practical and relatable.

Below are a number of support groups for specific conditions, which you may find useful. We also share links to a variety of sports and recreational activities to help you find a new fun hobby.

“ Physiotherapy have been a great support to me and my family whilst going through a traumatic and life-changing time. They continue to support us with visits to monitor my son , training carers and family members, they are a very important part of my son's EHCP which is ongoing and very good at putting a smile on our faces. We are very thankful for receiving this service and having a lovely physiotherapist. ”

“ My physio does amazing up and down exercises and makes my legs feel wonderful. My physio makes my exercises lots of fun and I like doing round and round with my hips the most. ”
