Children and Young People Physiotherapy Service

Service name: Physiotherapy Service for children and young people Source: https://www.berkshirehealthcare.nhs.uk/services/physiotherapy-service-for-children-and-young-people

We support children and young people aged 0‑19 who need help with gross‑motor skills, posture and mobility. Our team works within the Children and Young People’s Integrated Therapies (CYPIT) Service and can provide:

• Assessment and advice to develop movement skills
• Guidance on using specialist equipment such as seating, standing frames, mobility aids and splints
• Support for neurological conditions that affect movement

We do not see children with musculoskeletal (bone, joint or muscle) conditions – those are referred to the Dingley Paediatric Physiotherapy Service.

How to get an appointment:

• If your child has a Berkshire West GP, you can fill in the online referral form and also email any reports to cypittriage2@berkshire.nhs.uk.
• For preschool‑aged children in Wokingham and Reading, referrals must go directly to the Dingley Paediatric Physiotherapy Service (details on the Royal Berkshire Hospital website).
• You can also call the Enquiries, Advice and Support line on Tuesday afternoons (12 pm‑3.30 pm) or Thursday mornings (9 am‑12 pm) at 0118 904 3700 for advice or help with the referral.
• If you need additional support to make a phone call, email the same address.

What to bring to the assessment (usually 30‑60 minutes):

• Any reports, equipment your child uses and a list of medicines (you do not need to bring the medication itself)
• Dress your child in comfortable clothing
• You may bring a family member, friend or carer for support

For more information on developing gross‑motor skills such as balance, core stability and stepping, see our guidance on gross‑motor skills.
