About the Practice
When your child is under hospital care, physiotherapy needs to understand both the medical risk and the movement goals that matter at home. University Hospitals of Leicester Paediatric Physiotherapy helps Leicester 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.
