About Dianne Beattie Children’s Physiotherapy

At Dianne Beattie Children’s Physiotherapy, we focus on providing specialist assessment and treatment for children of all ages. We work closely with families to help every child reach their full potential, particularly those with neurological and developmental conditions.

Treatment sessions take place in a carefully designed therapy room. We have created a space that combines therapeutic needs with the comfort of a home environment. By using a mix of specialised equipment and familiar home furniture, we ensure each therapy plan feels natural and easy to follow.

Children are naturally active and curious, which is why our sessions are full of fun and play-based activities. We know that when therapy is enjoyable, children stay motivated and progress more quickly. In addition, we teach families expert handling techniques that fit into daily life, such as dressing, playing, and simple routines. This approach helps children build the repetition needed for learning and development.

Services

Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapy

We offer expert treatment for children with a range of neurological and developmental conditions. Our services include:

• Individual assessments tailored to each child

• Fun, motivating therapy sessions

• Specialist training for parents and carers

• Customised home programmes that fit daily routines

• Advice and support to maximise each child’s independence

After the initial assessment, we discuss with families how often sessions should take place. Depending on the child’s needs, treatment may involve intensive therapy blocks, regular weekly input, or occasional monitoring. We always aim to create a plan that works best for the family.

Family-Focused Therapy

We believe that involving families in the therapy process is crucial. Therefore, we ensure that parents and carers receive clear guidance on how to support their child’s development at home. Simple activities like dressing and playing can provide valuable learning opportunities when supported correctly. With the right techniques, families can help children gain new skills faster and more naturally.
