About the Practice
When walking, hips, feet or limb alignment need a specialist view, Oxford’s orthopaedic pathway can connect physio with medical decision-making. Oxford Paediatric Orthopaedics and Gait Lab helps Oxford 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?
Oxford Gait and Orthopaedics: 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.
Practical Parent Guidance: Support looks beyond a single exercise sheet and connects therapy with the places where your child actually has to move, play, learn and recover.
Oxford Specialist Route: Oxford Children’s Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre options help families across Oxford, Headington, Cowley, Summertown, Abingdon, Didcot, Witney, Bicester and Oxfordshire choose a pathway that fits the child, the timetable and the level of clinical need.
