Intensive Physiotherapy
Intensive Physiotherapy Packages for Children
At Therapy Stars we offer an intensive physiotherapy service at our Clinic in Penley. Intensive programmes offer daily intensive physiotherapy over a short period of time, such as school holidays or post-surgery. Our packages are tailored to the specific needs of your child, and can vary in length, frequency, and techniques used.
In order for your child to make good progress, our packages are built in such a way that you can walk away feeling confident in continuing the methods, exercises, and techniques used in your child’s intensive physiotherapy sessions outside of the clinic and once the programme ends. We’ll provide you with all of the knowledge and information you need to continue therapy, as well as a written summary of everything that has been covered so that you’re good to go.
What is Intensive Physiotherapy?
Intensive physiotherapy for children is a programme of physiotherapy conducted in intense bursts over a short period of time, such as during school holidays, when your child cannot quite master a skill or for recovery after surgery. Whilst we tailor our packages to the individual needs of each child, you might find that we recommend 2-3 hours of physiotherapy per day as part of our packages, and will also recommend at-home exercises to keep making progress away from the clinic.What are the Benefits of Intensive Physiotherapy?
Evidence has shown that Intensive programmes can help to significantly improve motor skills, which can be carried forward. Intensive physiotherapy has also shown to be effective for children who need to master, or become more secure in a certain skill, particularly if you feel this skill is holding them back from making further developments.
Benefits of intensive physiotherapy include:
- Speed up rehabilitation after injury
- Help to reach developmental milestones
- Improve motor skills
- Master particular skills
- Improve strength
- Build confidence in your ability to continue at-home physiotherapy once the programme ends

Our stellar intensive physiotherapy packages are designed to not only deliver at the clinic, but also to provide you with all of the tools, knowledge, and confidence to be able to continue therapy at home, once the programme ends. Our courses include:
