Physiotherapy

A physiotherapist specialises in helping people who have problems with movement. Therapy consists of natural methods such as exercise, manipulation, heat and massage to help develop good patterns of movement.

Physiotherapists can also advise on the best ways of carrying, holding and positioning a child. Referral to a physiotherapist is made by a medical professional.
