Physiotherapy

All therapy and nursing provision is based at school so we can arrange the therapy sessions as a fundamental part of the school day. Each student has an assessment which forms the basis of their individual plans for therapy.

Our physio team

Langside has a team of highly experienced qualified physiotherapists plus trained assistants. The physiotherapists are available throughout the school day to assess pupils and co-ordinate personalised programmes which will enable them to maximise their learning potential.

Assessments and programmes

Assessments are made for postural care, physiotherapy activity/exercise programmes, and equipment such as standing frames and walking aids.

Our physiotherapists devise and supervise the management of pupil’s individual programmes including hydrotherapy and rebound therapy, ensuring therapeutic activities are integrated into daily classroom activities.

They also maintain close liaison with health, social care, and education colleagues to ensure continuity of quality care. The physiotherapists also organise and attend with pupils’ and their parents, school-based clinics including orthopaedics and orthotics.
