About the Practice
When movement difficulty affects home and school, Derby’s community pathway can help connect practical therapy advice. Derbyshire Healthcare Children’s Physiotherapy helps Derby 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?
Derby Community Therapy: 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.
Derby and Southern Derbyshire: Derby and southern Derbyshire community pathway options help families across Derby, Littleover, Allestree, Mickleover, Chesterfield, Burton, Nottingham, Ashbourne and Derbyshire choose a pathway that fits the child, the timetable and the level of clinical need.
