Baby MOTs

Do you want peace of mind that your baby is following typical development and meeting milestones?

Do you have a specific concern and want an expert paediatric physiotherapist to have a look and provide advice, reassurance, and support?

Has a health visitor or GP recommended a physiotherapy assessment of your baby’s physical health following a developmental check?

The Baby MOT is a complete and thorough assessment of your baby from head to toe.

Julie will start by discussing the pregnancy and birth history, and any concerns you have about development.

Using her skills developed over many years of working with babies and young children, Julie will ease your baby into the assessment by playing games, singing, using toys – whatever it takes to make them feel at ease and be content.

She will then tailor the assessment to their specific needs, this usually includes screening of your baby’s joints, muscle tone, physical capabilities and for birth conditions such as feet deformities, stiff neck, flat head, hip dysplasia and developmental delays. The assessment will not cause any discomfort or distress to your baby.

Julie will answer any questions you may have about your baby's development and will provide advice on play positions and how you can support your child's development through play-based exercises.

If Julie feels your baby would benefit from seeing another health care professional, she will signpost you as appropriate.

Testimonial:

“We’ve recently seen Julie for an overall development check for our 8 month old baby. Julie was very personable and thorough looking over our baby and checking he is physically developing how he should be. Julie was very patient and calming as well as really friendly with myself and my partner and the baby”
