Physiotherapy

The Physiotherapy staff in Mitchell House School are employees of Belfast Health

and Social Care Trust.

The purpose of the physiotherapy service is to assess and treat children with

physical disabilities. We aim to help each child to become as mobile and as

independent as is possible for them. Your child’s physiotherapist will use a wide

range of treatment approaches which include play, specific activity programmes

and possibly hydrotherapy. The children may be treated individually or in groups.

We aim to help your child make the most of his/her abilities and minimise the

problems caused by his / her disability.
