Who is in the Physiotherapy Team?

The Physiotherapy Team is made up of Physiotherapists and Physiotherapy Clinical Support Workers. If needed the child/young person will be allocated to a named Physiotherapist. This Physiotherapist will help to support you and your child/young person. They will work alongside the team around your child/young person.

Physiotherapy Clinical Support Workers work with children, young people and the team around them to carry out the agreed plan. Any intervention will take place in the most appropriate setting.

With your consent, a Physiotherapy student may also be involved. The student will be supervised by your child/young person's Physiotherapist.
