Session Types

Face-to-Face Sessions

All of our sessions are 1:1, which means that you or your child are receiving our therapist’s undivided attention. We provide support 5 days per week - Monday to Friday from our clinic space near Linlithgow. Adult home visits are mainly undertaken on Mondays but we try to be as flexible and accommodating as we can.

For children: parents are invited and encouraged to be an active part of the therapy session. This ensures that parents become more skilled in handling and assisting their child to move in the best possible ways, and can continue practising on their own. Empowering parents to feel in control and knowledgeable about their child’s condition and needs is paramount to us at Movement Physiotherapy. We also work with children in school or nursery - helping to up-skill other members of their teams.

For adults: we warmly invite any friends, relatives and/or carers to be part of the therapy sessions. If an individual relies on the assistance of another to help with their therapy, having that person there to learn directly is by far the most effective way of achieving this.

Remote Video Sessions - Movement Videotherapy!

In response to the Coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, we launched a remote therapy service - Movement Videotherapy! This proved very popular and hugely effective with our families. With geography no longer a barrier, individuals from across the UK and further afield, can now benefit from the highly specialised physiotherapy input which we offer.

Remote therapy allows complete freedom of access, and currently includes:

Live video sessions in a 1:1 capacity
Provision of pre-recorded, bespoke physiotherapy programmes
Assessment and consultation sessions via direct video link
Analysis of video footage received from individuals
Provision of written home-therapy programmes in support of video sessions

MDT Sessions

We are fortunate to have close links with several other private practitioners, including:

Physiotherapists providing specialist input in Hippotherapy/Therapeutic Riding as well as musculoskeletal disorders
Speech and Language Therapists
Occupational Therapists
Orthotists

Joint sessions can be arranged as appropriate. Sessions are pre-planned to ensure that you/your child gets the optimal benefit from working with different clinical professionals.

Group Therapy Sessions

Over the school holidays, we occasionally run small group sessions to allow children of similar abilities to work together and learn from each other.

Group sessions can be incredibly beneficial, not only from a physical perspective, but also through the emotional and peer support which the children receive. It's also a great way for parents to meet up and build new friendships with other people who just get it!

Group sessions are usually 3 or 4 days in duration and take place in West Lothian. If there is interest from a group of parents in other areas, this can be considered.
