About the Practice
When your child is referred to Derriford physio, knowing the pathway helps parents prepare for assessment and home exercises. University Hospitals Plymouth Paediatric Physiotherapy helps Plymouth 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.
