Physiotherapy North Essex
What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability.
Paediatric (children’s) Physiotherapists bring their specialist skills as Physiotherapists and have additional expert knowledge and experience of child development and of childhood conditions.
