About the Practice
When your child needs Newham or East London NHS physio, knowing the right route can stop parents being sent in circles. East London NHS Foundation Trust Children’s Physiotherapy helps East London families understand what physical support their child needs and what can change at home, school, clinic or hospital. The focus is practical progress: better movement, safer confidence, clearer exercises and less fear around the next step.

Why Work With Us?
ELFT Children’s Physio Route: Parents get a clearer route through movement, development or rehabilitation concerns, with the right level of paediatric physiotherapy input for the child in front of them.
Specialist Community Team: Support looks beyond a single exercise sheet and connects therapy with the places where your child actually has to move, play, learn and recover.
Appleby Health Centre Access: Appleby Health Centre and community settings options help families across East London, Waltham Forest, Highams Park, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Barking, Dagenham and Redbridge choose a pathway that fits the child, the timetable and the level of clinical need.
