Finding a physiotherapist with genuine specialist experience in learning disabilities can be difficult. Abi brings 18 years of dedicated experience working with adults and children with learning disabilities — offering the depth of knowledge, patience and understanding this work truly requires.
Abi is also trained in Cerebral Palsy and holds extensive expertise in postural and mobility management, including specialist 24-hour postural care management. This holistic approach works to improve and maintain posture throughout the entire day and night — not just during treatment sessions — making a meaningful difference to comfort, function and long-term wellbeing.
Abi is equally passionate about supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), working alongside families and carers to help young people develop, thrive and reach their full potential.

What Our Clients Say
The best measure of what we do isn't what we say about ourselves — it's what our clients and their families say about us. Every review represents someone who got back on their feet, regained their confidence, or found their independence again. Here's what some of them have shared.
What We Do
How we support people with learning disabilities
Our specialist physiotherapists can advise on sleep and seating systems — finding solutions that improve comfort, support posture and enhance quality of life throughout the day and night.
Abi is also qualified in two specialist therapies that can be particularly effective for people with learning disabilities:
Hydrotherapy
Therapeutic exercise in a warm water pool, which can be especially beneficial for those who find land-based movement difficult, uncomfortable or less engaging.
Rebound therapy
A specialist therapy using a trampoline to improve balance, coordination, sensory processing and physical fitness in a way that many people with learning disabilities find genuinely enjoyable and motivating.
Our team also brings extensive knowledge across a wide range of neurological and paediatric conditions — including cerebral palsy, genetic conditions and neuromuscular conditions — working closely with families, carers and other healthcare professionals to deliver truly joined-up care.
How our Service Works
How it works
Every person with a learning disability is unique, and we treat them that way from the very first visit.
Your physiotherapist will begin with a comprehensive assessment — taking the time to understand each individual's strengths, needs and goals, as well as the insights of the people who know them best. We work closely with family members, carers and support workers throughout, because their knowledge and involvement is invaluable to achieving the right outcomes.
From there, a tailored physiotherapy programme is developed around that individual — flexible, person-centred, and always delivered at a pace that works for them. Our aim is to enhance health, wellbeing and quality of life in the most meaningful way possible, in the comfort and familiarity of home.
