Private Paediatric Physiotherapy for Teenagers
Our private paediatric Physiotherapy service for teenagers is specifically designed for young people aged 13–18 who need a little extra support. Our expert Physiotherapists can help manage existing conditions and work to prevent other difficulties from developing or worsening with age.
As teenagers get older, independence often becomes increasingly important, and it can be frustrating when physical limitations get in the way. We can work towards meaningful goals such as becoming more independent with transfers or everyday movement, while also teaching self-management skills and techniques where appropriate.
We can work closely with parents, carers and schools too, helping to carry that support into everyday life and giving each young person the best opportunity to reach their own potential.
Our clinic has a specialist hoist to support teenagers and young adults who may need help transferring safely between their wheelchair and therapy equipment. It helps make sessions more comfortable and accessible, allowing our team to adapt physiotherapy around each person’s individual needs.

When to See Us
If you’re not sure whether or not our Private Paediatric Physiotherapy service is right for your teenager, we’ve outlined a few scenarios below that we can help with:
- If your child requires Private Paediatric Physiotherapy to compliment NHS treatments
- If your child is awaiting physiotherapy treatments, but you’d like them to be seen sooner
- If your child is not meeting developmental milestones
- If your child has a medical condition that would benefit from Private Paediatric Physiotherapy

You could also come to see us if your teenager is becoming frustrated by how their physical abilities affect their independence. We can work with them to set meaningful goals around everyday movement or transfers, focusing on what they would most like to be able to do for themselves.
If one or more of the points above sounds like your teenager, book a complimentary consultation with Therapy Stars today to see how your child could benefit from Private Paediatric Physiotherapy. We simply ask that, before the consultation, you fill in a short questionnaire to help us understand your concerns better.
