The Lee Medical Physiotherapy Practice is a private practice specialising in the treatment of Dyspraxia and co-ordination difficulties. The Practice has 2 Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists, Michele Lee and Sue Yoxall. The Practice's office and our treatment facility is based in Denham, Buckinghamshire which is close to the M25 and M40.
For families who either live abroad or a long distance from the Practice we offer a long distance programme. This involves giving the first treatment at the time of the assessment and seeing children fortnightly instead of on a weekly basis. Parents are shown how to progress the programme at home. However, it should be stressed that parents must be committed to ensure that the same progress is made as for the normal programme.
It is our experience that children do not like new situations. Therefore prior to the appointment it is important that the parents explain to their child the reason for the visit and what a physiotherapist does. In simple terms the parents should explain that a physiotherapist looks at how strong people are and how they move.
Treatment may take the form of regular sessions, a block of treatment or monitoring. Treatment will be geared at improving muscle strength, agility, stamina, body awareness of the joint positions (proprioception) co-ordination skills and any other areas of difficulties.
All treatments are supplemented by a daily home programme which will be taught to the parents/carers/child. Advice will be given on how to protect the joints which may involve using orthotics and appropriate footwear as well as how to help with painful joints.It is very important that children with hypermobility keep as fit as possible and that their muscles are kept strong.

For the assessment, your child is asked to wear shorts and a T-shirt. It may be necessary for your child to remove further clothing so that the physiotherapist is able to assess your child fully. Parents are asked to remain in the room while their child is being assessed. The assessment usually takes at least an hour and it may be necessary to complete the assessment over two appointments.
