School Visits
School visits are beneficial for a child who experiences difficulties in participation, concentration or has barriers to learning in a classroom setting. During a school visit the physiotherapist may assess furniture in the classroom (e.g desk/chair height), the static and dynamic posture of the child, the duration of lessons, the child’s pencil grip and assess the use of assistive devices in the classroom, among other things.
Should a child be referred for physiotherapy by their teacher due to classroom-specific issues, a school visit may allow the opportunity for a physiotherapist to recommend practical solutions to aid the child in the classroom, as well as liaise with the teacher and set collaborative goals. Generally, a school visit is done in addition to consistent attendance to physiotherapy to effectively support the gross motor and postural needs of the child. For more information regarding school visits please contact us.
Home Exercise Programmes
Following a home exercise program is the easiest and best way to get the most out of physiotherapy. In conjunction with regular and consistent attendance to physiotherapy sessions, our therapists can compile a home exercise program. The programme is based on similar exercises that are done during one-on-one sessions with your therapist, and will be graded as progress is made.
Tele-Health
Tele-Health is the use of an online video conferencing platform that can be used as a replacement for face-to-face therapy. Should you be interested in Tele-Health or looking for more information please contact us.
