Physiofit for Kids
In addition to treating adults, all of our physiotherapists are experienced in the assessment and treatment of children. We can see any child between the ages of 5 - 16 years. We may ask that any child under the age of 16 be accompanied by an adult.
At Physiofit children will not be treated using adult techniques and approaches. We treat children with child specific and age appropriate techniques so they have fun whilst getting better.

Help with goal planning to assist with school:sport:life balance
We have extensive knowledge of young athlete development ensuring that children achieve the correct advice about appropriate exercise during their vital growth spurts. Children need to relearn functional movements and regain balance and coordination after each major growth spurt so screening should be done more regularly during peak growth times.
Junior Core Classes
Physiofit now runs junior core classes at FITISM suitable for anyone 11/12 -18 years of age. The classes aim to implement a bespoke movement curriculum to build physical robustness, enhance coordinative movement, increase mobility, assist with recovery and also educate junior participants. This is especially important as the transition into and through the developmental stage of growing can bring about growth related injuries and can also affect physical sports performance.
​
The classes are a fun and dynamic way of educating juniors and giving them practical support in management of injuries, reducing the risk of injuries, and generally helping them movement more fluently to improve sporting performance.
Exercises in the class will be progressive in nature, beginning with the fundamentals of movement, which will develop over a term. The movement curriculum will cover a wide range of exercises, from core control, mobility, landing mechanics, suspension training and myofascial release techniques.
Classes are tailored to the individuals needs and as a result a maximum of 12 spaces per class is limited. Due to popular demand, we have now have 2 classes. Classes are at Fitism, Kings Road, Wilmslow, SK9 5PZ on a Wednesday (5pm-6pm and 6pm-7pm).
The classes run on a termly basis, during the holidays they are on a week by week basis but we ask you to book in with reception; just so we know numbers.
Classes are £8 each, with your first class free.
