HELPING BABIES, CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WITH EXPERT, CHILD FOCUSED PHYSIOTHERAPY

Hi, I’m Louise Graham, a specialist children’s physiotherapist with over 20 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice. I support babies, children, and young people with a wide range of physical needs, from early developmental delays and mobility difficulties to rehabilitation after illness, injury, or cancer treatment.
I provide personalised care tailored to each child’s needs. No two children are the same, so therapy is always built around what matters most to your child and family, creating a plan that fits their strengths, interests and goals. My approach is playful, positive, and family-centred.
Sessions are designed to be practical and manageable, fitting into everyday life so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming. I focus on building strength, confidence, and independence for children and young people, while also supporting parents so they feel guided and reassured throughout the journey.
HOW CAN I HELP?

Your first appointment usually lasts around an hour. I’ll spend time getting to know your child, listening to your concerns and carrying out an assessment of their movement and abilities. This helps me recognise your child’s strengths as well as the areas where they may need extra support and shapes the therapy plan we create together.

I’m Louise Graham, a specialist children’s physiotherapist with over 20 years’ experience dedicated to supporting babies, children, and young people. For many years, I worked at one of the largest children’s hospitals in the North East, where I gained extensive expertise in paediatrics - from babies and developmental delays to children and young people with complex neurological, orthopaedic and long-term medical conditions.
I’ve supported children and young people recovering from cancer treatment, rehabilitation after surgery and those living with lifelong conditions that affect their movement. Alongside my NHS career, I also provide private physiotherapy to families who want flexible, personalised support. This combination of hospital and community experience means I understand the challenges families face and how to make therapy practical, effective and achievable in everyday life. I’m committed to providing safe, high-quality care.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate, I’m HCPC registered and I’m a registered member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. I am also a member of the Medico-Legal Association of Chartered Physiotherapists, providing expert opinion to the courts in medical legal cases. Families describe me as approachable, supportive, and practical. My aim is always to make physiotherapy feel positive and manageable - helping children achieve their
goals while making parents feel confident and reassured.

Seeing Louise for my little girl. Highly knowledgable and built a rapport with Chloe straight away, meaning sessions are a lot more productive. Louise explains everything she does so we can also help Chloe at home too. Very happy.
