Physiotherapists or physios help children with movement skills and physical mobility. Through activities and sometimes equipment, they encourage the development of key milestones, such as rolling over, sitting, balancing, standing, and walking. They may also assess for specialised equipment such as walking aids. They work closely with the child’s family and carers and see children in many different environments for example at Sunshine House, at home and at school. The service runs a number of more specialised clinics and services some of which are based at Sunshine House. These include:
• Fizzitots
• Fizzikids
• Early intervention clinic
• After school exercise groups
