Private childrens physiotherapy in manchester

At The Alexandra Hospital, we provide expert children’s physiotherapy for musculoskeletal (MSK), orthopaedic, and sports-related conditions. 

Based within the hospital’s specialist physiotherapy and rehabilitation service, our paediatric physiotherapists help support children and young people with expert assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation tailored specifically to growing bodies. 

We offer specialist care for children and teenagers experiencing joint, muscle, bone, or sports-related injuries and conditions. 

Whether your child is recovering from injury, managing ongoing pain, rehabilitating after orthopaedic treatment, or aiming to return safely to sport, our team is here to help them move confidently again. 

Tailored movement programmes

Our physiotherapy team provide custom exercise and movement programmes to help treat a wide range of paediatric conditions. These routines utilise play-based activities and progressive movements to help improve your child's strength, balance, and motor skills. 

Supporting young athletes

Children and teenagers involved in sport require specialist rehabilitation that considers both performance demands and growth-related changes. 

At The Alexandra Hospital, we support young athletes recovering from injury and returning safely to sport through: 

• Sports injury rehabilitation  
• Strength and conditioning  
• Movement retraining  
• Injury prevention strategies  
• Flexibility and mobility work  
• Safe return-to-play planning  

Our physiotherapists work closely with children, parents, coaches, and schools to support recovery while helping young people remain active and confident. 

Post-operative and orthopaedic rehabilitation for children

Our paediatric physiotherapy service also provides rehabilitation for children recovering from orthopaedic injuries, procedures, and surgery. 

This may include rehabilitation for the following: 

• Fractures  
• Sports-related surgery  
• Knee procedures  
• Foot and ankle surgery 
• Consultant-led orthopaedic treatment plans  

As part of a wider hospital environment, we work collaboratively with orthopaedic consultants and healthcare professionals to support seamless recovery and continuity of care. 

Specialist paediatric expertise 

We focus exclusively on children and young people with MSK, orthopaedic, and sports-related conditions. 

Hospital-based rehabilitation facilities 

Children benefit from access to the specialist physiotherapy and rehabilitation facilities available within The Alexandra Hospital. 

Personalised treatment plans 

Every rehabilitation programme is tailored to the child’s condition, goals, and stage of development. 

Family-centred care 

We work closely with parents and carers to ensure children feel comfortable, supported, and confident during treatment. 

Fast access to specialist care 

Early physiotherapy intervention can support quicker recovery and help prevent ongoing problems. 

We understand that attending hospital appointments can sometimes feel daunting for children and parents. Our team aims to create a welcoming, supportive, and reassuring experience for every family. 

Appointments are designed to be: 

• Child-focused and engaging  
• Age-appropriate  
• Supportive and encouraging  
• Tailored to individual needs and confidence levels  

We take time to explain assessments and treatment plans clearly, helping both children and parents feel informed and involved throughout rehabilitation.
