Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Dame Hannah Rogers Trust is delivered by a highly skilled and qualified team.
Each physiotherapist has responsibility for a small number of young people and each young person has a specific programme of therapy to meet their own needs. Continuous assessment and review are critical components of the programme. These personalised programmes are created to provide 24-hour postural management care for each youngster and are developed in consultation with the young person, parent and multi-disciplinary team.
Working alongside other disciplines on a daily basis, physiotherapy enables young people to access a wide range of physical activities including hydrotherapy, rebound therapy, therapeutic horse riding and adapted PE. Independent mobility training programmes for assisted walking and wheelchair users are also featured.
Young people are actively encouraged to develop an understanding of their therapy needs and to play a central role in their therapy management. Therapy goals are an integral component of a young person`s Individual Education, Learning & Care Plans. Regular clinics are held to enable close and confidential liaison between a young person, parents, therapists, consultants and other practitioners.
