Physiotherapy for children at home
An assessment adapted to your child’s age, movement and activities, with practical rehabilitation goals and next steps discussed with the child and family.
Appointments depend on your address, travel and our diary.
Coverage details
Area pages help you plan a visit; they do not guarantee coverage for every address. We check your exact visit address, travel and clinician availability before showing appointment times.
An appointment shaped around your child.
Children show us how they move through play and everyday activity. We listen to the child and family, ask about their concerns and adapt assessment to their age and needs. The aim is to understand the difficulties and agree useful next steps, without expecting every child to approach an appointment in the same way.
Who is children’s home physiotherapy for?
- Children with movement, coordination or development concerns.
- Children recovering from an injury or with orthopaedic or neurological rehabilitation needs.
- Parents seeking an assessment adapted to their child’s age, activities and existing care.
What happens at your visit?
We begin with your concerns, relevant medical history and what your child enjoys or finds difficult. Assessment may use play, observation and age-appropriate movement tasks. We explain what we are assessing and adapt the pace to the child. Recommendations and any coordination with existing healthcare or therapy support are discussed with the family.
How physiotherapy can help
- Understand movement, development or recovery concerns and their effect on daily activities.
- Use appropriate observation, movement and activities to assess the child's needs.
- Discuss practical goals and how suitable activities can fit into family life.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the child’s age, what is difficult and any advice from their current healthcare or therapy team.
- Have usual equipment and comfortable clothing ready. A parent or legal guardian should arrange the appointment and be present for the visit.
A parent or legal guardian should arrange the appointment and be present for the visit. Tell us the child’s age and any existing therapy advice.
Self-pay, insurance or a health cash plan?
Self-pay & health cash plans
Standard home visits are £120 for 60 minutes. Pay online when booking and receive a paid itemised invoice.
Using a health cash plan
You can use it to claim according to your cash-plan cover. Check home-visit eligibility, limits and requirements with your provider first.
Private medical insurance
You can book eligible home visits online. Your insurer must cover home treatment with the treating physiotherapist.
What to have ready
Have your membership or policy number and authorisation, care or claim reference ready. Clinic recognition alone does not establish home-visit cover; an excess or shortfall may apply.
Questions before arranging care
Can a parent or carer stay during the visit?
We discuss appropriate family or carer involvement before the appointment, including consent and the child's wishes and needs. Familiar support can help us understand daily activities and what matters to the child.
What if my child is worried or does not want to take part?
Tell us about their concerns beforehand. We explain activities in a suitable way, adapt the pace and respect their responses. Assessment and next steps can be discussed without forcing a child to complete an activity.
Can you take existing therapy advice into account?
Yes. Share relevant advice or care plans so we can understand the support already in place. Any liaison or written communication with another professional is discussed and agreed, with appropriate consent.

Clinic, solicitor or employer referrals
Clinic appointments are at our Newham clinic in Plaistow. A home-area guide is not another clinic location.
For professional home referrals, agree suitability, location, funding and reporting with the team first. A normal online booking does not establish an agency or employer agreement.
