SERVICES
Welcome to Physio 4 KidsThe term ‘Physiotherapist’ is a protected title requiring registration with the Health Professionals Council.
I offer physiotherapy services in West Sussex and Hampshire, specialising in the physiotherapy assessment and treatment of children usually in their own home.
Physiotherapy is the treatment of disease, injury, or deformity by physical methods such as massage and exercise.
Some of the conditions in children that can benefit from physiotherapy are: - congenital anomalies
- poor posture and post-fracture
- muscular dystrophy
- metabolic disease
- cystic fibrosis
- cerebral palsy
- juvenile arthritis
- poor co-ordination or clumsiness
- learning disabilities
- chronic fatigue/ME
- idiopathic abdominal pain
All the above conditions can impair potential for adult independence.

About Gina
Specialising in Physiotherapy for Children and Young Adults
The Practice
I specialise in the assessment and therapy for children and young adults with delayed or disordered motor skills. I also have an interest in treating children complaining of joint or muscle pains including back and abdominal pain.
I have a BSc. (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Kings College University in London and have specialised in Paediatrics since 1998.
Registrations
I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MCSP): member no 55638.
I am registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC): reg no 49614.
I am recognised by most insurance companies including BUPA .
You can find out more about me from the article I wrote for the WellSpring newsletter
Special Interest Groups and Memberships
I am a member of the following organisations (registered under my full name, Georgina Farmer) :
Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists (APCP).
Organization of Chartered Physiotherapists in Private Practice (OCPPP): member no 6836.
The British Association of Bobath Trained Therapists (BABTT): member no 966.
I am also a registered 'Movement for Learning and Life' practitioner (November 2008)
I am currently involved in a multi-disciplinary special interest group looking into using physiotherapy to help children with chronic abdominal pain. Our initial research supports our theory that physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for this condition where time of day, change of position or activity make symptoms worse.

Ref:- Our Son Callum
Callum had a bulging disk. Gina diagnosed the problem almost immediately where others were a little baffled and confused.
After a routine of different exercise prescribed by Gina there was substantial improvement in a short period of time.
Thank you Gina.
