Yes, it can! Baby physiotherapy is ideal to be completed virtually as much of our assessment is formed by observing how your baby moves and interacts. This is optimised when your baby is in their own environment, with all their familiar smells and noises. We use a therapy demonstration doll, so that any handling and movement techniques can be shown via video. During the covid-19 pandemic even NHS services used virtual consultation platforms, and some continue to do so as they worked so well.

During the session, I will listen to your concerns and take a very detailed antenatal, birth and postnatal history. I will observe your baby’s behaviours and movement patterns in different positions and can plot your baby's gross motor development on a centile (just like for height and weight in the red book) which provides a baseline to monitor progress. I will formulate an appropriate play-based treatment plan to implement at home, and demonstrate any handling and movement techniques using a therapy demonstration doll. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions and we will discuss a plan for follow-up, if required.

A play mat, a couple of toys and somewhere to prop the camera is great. I might ask you to move the camera angle so that I can see what your baby is doing from different perspectives. It might be helpful to have a second pair of hands to make things easier for you. I will let you know in advance if there’s anything extra you will need for the session.

I will do my best to offer an appointment that best suits you and your baby’s schedule and wake windows. I will never expect you to wake your sleeping baby for a session, so please don’t worry about the timing, we can cover a lot while your baby is asleep. You can also send in videos of your baby prior to or after appointments for me to review if we don’t manage to catch them awake.

As each baby is unique, guidance on the frequency of sessions and duration of treatment required will be determined after the initial assessment. Options will be discussed with you to ensure you are fully informed on the best pathway to meet your baby’s needs.

Yes! I am a Paediatric Physiotherapist with a clinical specialism in baby physio, so if your child is under 16 years old, I may still be able to help. Please do not hesitate to get in contact to discuss your query.

In the majority of cases, we can complete everything we need to via video. Hands-on treatment is often not required, and can even be contraindicated when treating infants. Treatment plans are best implemented regularly by caregivers, therefore face-to-face appointments are not usually needed. If you feel your child would benefit from a face-to-face appointment, please contact us.

This is dependant on your individual insurer; therefore we always advise to check with your insurer for pre-authorisation before booking. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about this process.

Although I am fully trained to assess and treat adults and children, my area of expertise is within paediatrics, therefore I do not offer sessions for adults. If you are an expectant Mummy, have a look at our ‘Get Ready for Your New Arrival’ package, which will get you fully prepared for your new addition.
