Paediatric Physio Lisburn

We offer a professional and friendly service to meet the specific needs of children from birth to adolescence (up to the age of 16 years old). We accept self-referral from the parent thereby ensuring assessment, treatment and input is timely.

The specialised paediatric physio will assess your child and give advice, and discuss input that would be beneficial.  This can include teaching parents and carers of babies and children handling, stretches and play activities, or instructing young people and their parents on exercises, stretches and activities to do.

The physiotherapist will always ensure you understand why you are doing what you are doing, and explain the assessment and any advice given.  We want you to be empowered in the care of your child or young person.  We also believe that children are mini humans, but not mini adults, therefore need treated appropriately to reflect this.

Due the specialist nature of Paediatric Physiotherapy we have patients that travel to our clinic from throughout Northern Ireland. Our Paediatric Physio clinic is well positioned in Lisburn and is only 20 minutes from the centre of Belfast, 30 minutes from Portadown and 35 minutes from Antrim.
