Kidz to Adultz Wales and West

Kidz to Adultz
Posted 04/07/19

Several of our physios and occupational therapists from both our adult and paediatric teams attended the fantastic Kidz to Adultz exhibition in Thornbury today.

The events are run by Disabled Living and are free to attend.  They're a fantastic resource for clients, their families and their therapists, focusing on children and adults up to the age of 25 with disabilities and additional needs.

We do a lot of work with children and young people and it was great to catch up with lots of our clients and colleagues and also find out about the latest equipment and services catering for this group of individuals.  

Looking forward to the attending again next year!

Some kind words

Our daughter’s renal failure means that she is delayed with standing and walking at 2 and half years of age. We first started seeing Jules a few months back for an intense block of physiotherapy to build the strength and skills needed for her to eventually stand and walk.  It was really important that the physiotherapist specialised in paediatrics and could work alongside the NHS physiotherapists we also see. Jules immediately put us at ease with her friendly and professional approach and has built a good, trusting relationship with our daughter.  She uses play as a way to get our daughter to engage with the therapy.  Our daughter has really enjoyed all her physio sessions to date and we have seen a notable improvement in her movement.  She has begun to pull herself up and can climb up small steps as well as shuffle down stairs in a controlled manner!
