Hannah is a physiotherapist who has completed the specialist paediatric M.A.E.S. Therapy course with the renowned Paediatric Physiotherapist Jean-Pierre Maes. She has been practising this hands-on approach over the last 5 years. We are excited to be able to offer this individualised treatment approach to help your child develop quality and varied movement patterns. 

The treatment strategies are based on an in-depth analysis of your child's movement disorder. We use this to gain a better understanding of how and why they move the way they do in relation to their brain dysfunction. Traditional therapies tend to focus their intervention on practising the end goal such as crawling, sitting or standing, we focus on the process of movement and all the varied combinations that a typical developing baby learns to do by 'accident' before they are then able to master these milestones. 

The more variety of movement someone has the better their quality of movement and potential for further functional gains. We help a child by creating opportunities for them to develop their repertoire of movements by giving them experiences to learn. At the same time reducing their atypical movements from becoming relied upon, which if not addressed can limit their progress. This approach places no limits on their long-term development.

This deep understanding of a child's movements allows us to guide and educate each child, along with their parents/carers, about their specific sensory-motor components to encourage the child's potential for improvement and progress.
