How can I help?

I provide specialist, friendly and targeted physiotherapy intervention to adolescents, children and babies in the Kent and Canterbury area

I treat a wide range of paediatric conditions. I have listed common conditions that I treat in different age groups, however my intervention is not limited to just this. If you are unsure if your child will benefit from physiotherapy, please use my contact page and I will be happy to give you free advice.

Babies & Toddlers

  • Babies with delayed motor milestones like rolling, crawling, sitting or walking
  • Toddlers with delayed motor milestones like walking, running or jumping
  • Babies with Torticollis (looking to one side) & plagiocephaly (flat spot on their head)
  • Babies who are born prematurely
  • Babies who don’t enjoy tummy time
  • Babies with a developmental delay or diagnosis
  • Group Sessions: I run music, play and sensory groups for mum and babies. These are designed to help facilitate your baby’s development. I keep the groups small and ensure that there is also time during the group for you to ask any individual questions you may have. Jump on a group to meet other mums and bubs in the local area, or gather a group of friends and do it together.
