Our approach

Understanding how each child's brain shapes their movement and potential.

Every child begins with an in-depth assessment of movement, muscle tone and posture. 

We are then able to  provide therapeutic input to provide  positive feedback to the brain and upgrade its ability to control and move the body in more varied and fluid ways. This reduces the alternative, easier pathways that would otherwise evolve, and lead to secondary complications.

Part of your child's team

Working hand in hand with your family, wider clinical team and education.

Charlotte works alongside parents, educational settings, case managers and solicitors, with established links to local healthcare services. She delivers specialist physiotherapy provision as part of a child's EHCP and provides independent expert witness reports for SEND tribunal cases.

Above all, she builds lasting relationships with children and families, many spanning ten years and more. This continuity of care means support through every milestone, transition and medical procedure - from first concerns through to adulthood.

Frequently asked questions

What are Charlotte's qualifications?

Charlotte is an HCPC registered chartered physiotherapist, an advanced Bobath and MAES trained therapist, and a member of the CSP, APCP, MLACP and BABTT. She holds an enhanced DBS check registered on the online update service.

What is the Bobath approach?

Bobath (neurodevelopmental treatment) is a problem-solving approach for children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy. Through therapeutic handling, it helps normalise muscle tone and build more typical movement patterns - and families learn the techniques to use in everyday life.

What is MAES therapy?

MAES (Movement Analysis Education Strategies) is an advanced approach to assessing and treating children with cerebral palsy and similar neurodevelopmental conditions. It focuses on in-depth analysis of how each child moves, shaping therapy around the way their brain learns.

What ages do you work with?

From birth to young adulthood - from premature babies and newborns through to young people preparing for their adult lives, with therapy that adapts as your child grows and their needs change.

Where do sessions take place?

Wherever your child is most comfortable - at home, or in their nursery, pre-school or school - across Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire, Somerset and Surrey, at times that work around family and school life.
