Assess
A detailed history and a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened and exactly what we are going to do about it.
The Physio Rooms
Paediatric Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy in London
Assessment and treatment for children and young people with pain, injury or movement-related concerns, delivered by a physiotherapist with NHS paediatric experience who understands that growing bodies need a different approach from adult ones.
What happens at your first appointment?
Your first visit is a full 60-minute assessment: a detailed history, then testing of how you move, how strong you are and what the painful area is actually doing. We explain the working diagnosis in plain English and agree a plan with you before any treatment starts.
You leave with a written summary and a home programme, emailed the same day and loaded into the Move Health app so the technique stays right between visits.
Paediatric physiotherapy can help your child to:
Recover from a sports injury or fracture
Children get injured playing sport and often return before they are ready because they feel fine. Structured rehabilitation restores strength and control properly, which matters when a growing body is still developing.
Get an answer about growing pains and joint pain
Most childhood aches are benign, but knowing that with confidence is the point. Assessment identifies what is going on, reassures where reassurance is what is needed, and treats where treatment will help.
Address concerns about how they move
Intoeing gait, tip-toe walking and plagiocephaly are among the most common reasons parents get in touch. We assess properly and give you a clear view on whether it needs treatment, monitoring or simply time.
Return to school and sport with confidence
The aim is always to get children back to school, sport and everyday activities rather than to keep them in clinic. Parents and caregivers get practical advice so the plan continues at home.

I saw Amanda for a problem I've been having with a painful shoulder. She explained to me what the problem was, did a thorough treatment session and gave me some exercises to do to improve it. Very professional and friendly, I highly recommend her.
I first visited Amanda following a maisonneuve fracture. That day I walked 107 steps in a camboot with two crutches. I have visited weekly. Yesterday I walked 13,315 steps (no crutches, no boot). The transformation is truly amazing.
I booked with Michelle for my first appointment. When I stood up I said to her it feels like heaven as my continuous back pain had totally gone. I was totally pain free for 7 hours so bless you Michelle.
Excellent treatment of my lower back and related sciatica injuries from CrossFit. Definitely my go-to therapist when in dire need of pain relief.

From injury to longevity
the Origin Health journey
Most people arrive with something that hurts. What happens after that is the part most clinics leave to chance. We treat the problem, rebuild the capacity you lost, then keep you strong enough that it stays fixed.
Treat
Hands-on manual therapy chosen for your presentation, with Western medical acupuncture or soft-tissue work added where they help. Treatment is not the goal in itself: it opens the window to move and load properly.
Rebuild
Progressive, coached exercise rehabilitation restores the strength and load tolerance you lost, with full gym facilities at both clinics. This is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Stay well
Each follow-up measures you against your own baseline. We discharge you when you have the strength and the tools to manage alone, with clinical Pilates, sports massage and golf screening on hand to keep you there.
The starting point for better health. Our clinics work together to take you from injury, through recovery and performance, to the kind of health that holds up for decades. One team, one plan, one record of where you started.

FAQ
FAQs
What age children do you treat?
We see children and young people across the age range for musculoskeletal concerns, from infants with plagiocephaly through to teenagers with sports injuries. A parent or guardian must attend and give consent, and they are welcome to stay throughout.
Do I need a GP referral for my child?
No. You can book directly. If your child is already under a consultant or has had imaging, bring that information with you, as it helps us understand what has already been ruled out and where our treatment fits alongside it.
My child has growing pains. Is that something you treat?
Yes, and often the most useful outcome is confident reassurance. We assess to make sure nothing else is going on, then advise on activity, load and comfort. Where we find something that does need treating, we will tell you clearly.
Will my child need a lot of appointments?
Usually not. Many paediatric concerns need one or two appointments and a home programme rather than a long course of treatment. Sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation take longer, and we will give you a realistic view at the first visit.
