Why choose Family Fisio
Paediatric physiotherapy can be challenging due to children’s difficulty in expressing their pain. An acute sense of observation along with support from parents and carers is how to achieve success. In the same way, treating teenagers also requires a particular approach to allow better communication of issues and anxieties.
Becky has worked as part of an expert paediatric physiotherapist team in the UK, with years of experience in their fields. She also ran the out-patient musculoskeletal service for teenagers which she thoroughly enjoyed. Understanding children is easier when you are still a big kid yourself.
