About the Practice
When your child is already under specialist hospital care, physiotherapy needs to join the medical pathway around them. Royal Hospital for Children and Young People Edinburgh Physiotherapy helps Edinburgh 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.

Edinburgh Children’s Hospital 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.
Hospital MDT Planning: Support looks beyond a single exercise sheet and connects therapy with the places where your child actually has to move, play, learn and recover.
Royal Hospital Access: Royal Hospital for Children and Young People options help families across Edinburgh, Morningside, Stockbridge, Leith, Portobello, Musselburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian choose a pathway that fits the child, the timetable and the level of clinical need.
