Our Services 

We provide highly effective and individually tailored therapy to both children and adults, but specialise in the management of neurological and developmental disorders and the ongoing rehab/therapy of adults and children with long-term disability/neurological disorders.

Session Types

We try to be as flexible as possible with every element of the service we provide. We offer face-to-face visits as well as remote video consultations and therapy sessions. Duration, frequency and intensity of sessions varies, depending on the needs and requests of each family. Regular sessions are available, as well as more infrequent consultations. We also offer intensive blocks of input, and occasionally run group therapy sessions.

About Us

Based in West Lothian, we provide primarily a clinic-based service to children all around Scotland from our brand new therapy space ‘The Bothy’. Our homely, bright and engaging environment allows families and individuals to come and access our services and equipment under the guidance of our highly specialised physiotherapists. We continue to offer a limited number of home visits within our local area to children and young people.

In contrast, our adult services are based almost entirely within the community, allowing us to provide functional rehab within an individual’s own home.

 

Mobile Physiotherapy Services

We provide a mobile service within our local area - bringing the highest quality of physiotherapy input direct to our clients. For children this can work really well as means they are already in a safe space and it can be useful to work with the toys and equipment that you already have at home. Please be aware that this service is currently very limited but local enquiries are welcome.

A home-based service for adults eliminates the challenge of transferring tasks and activities to be practised from the clinic in to the home – meaning that repetition and subsequent motor learning is much easier to achieve. For those who are less mobile, it means that basic tasks and transfers can be practised and utilised in a far more meaningful way.

SPRING UPDATES

It has been another very busy start to the year at Movement Physiotherapy! As we move in to spring our updated hours of service are listed opposite for the Easter holiday period.

We currently have a waiting list for new assessments which we manage on a priority basis but do welcome new enquiries, so please get in touch directly or use the ‘enquire here’ button below.

Looking ahead, this summer we will once again be providing a limited number of week long intensive physiotherapy programmes - an ideal opportunity to focus in on some key areas and fully utilise the effectiveness of working intensively over a set period of time through highly specialised therapy input. We are open to enquiries and spaces are very limited. Check out our social media for more updates and information.

We pride ourselves on the expert therapy input and support that we provide to all our families, within a relaxed, fun and hugely positive environment. As always, we strive to push the boundaries for every single one of our clients - no matter what their age or ability.

Please feel free to tag us in your social media posts - @movementphysiotherapy_ (instagram) and MovementPhysiotherapy (facebook)!

What our Clients say.....

What our clients say.....
Denise Pentland

Kirsteen is the kindest, friendliest and most creative physio I have ever met. She has the best ideas to make all the 'exercises' fun and interesting. We have known her for years and she always as fresh ideas for us to try. The latest 'lockdown' input from her has been our fabulous Joe Wicks style personalised video for us to use at home. It includes tips for us as parents to get the most out of the exercises for our son who has cerebral palsy and is a full time wheelchairs user. She also has the cutest physio assistant I've ever met too! She will listened to any of your concerns, offers practical advice as well as reassurance. Person centred therapy from a person centred therapist. You can't ask for better.

Vicki Cheater

I could not actually recommend Kirsteen enough. I have twins, who have different levels of cerebral palsy, and Kirsteen has managed to tailor our sessions to both of their needs. Kirsteen has so many different ideas for developing my girls' physical abilities and I have 100 percent confidence in her. On top of that, she is just very approachable and friendly, and has been a good emotional support throughout this difficult time too.

Yvonne Miller

I cannot recommend Kirsteen enough. Our sessions are always informative, I come away feeling I have learn so much from just one session. She is fun, friendly, caring and not only a fantastic physio, she also shows an interest in the whole family. Kirsteen always brings fresh ideas and lots of encouragement and positivity, which is very important to keep me going. I can honestly say getting Kirsteen on board has been one of the best things we have done for our family.

Paul Johnston

Having had a bad experience with the physios our son has been assigned to, it was an absolute dream to meet someone like Kirsteen. A complete professional who is not only fantastic in the way she delivers the physio but she is so engaging, fun and positive when working with our little one. Cannot recommend enough!
