As Neurodevelopmental therapists we work differently to traditional Physiotherapists.
We see that to be able to celebrate your neurodivergence it is important to have a balance between the strengths you lean on and the challenges that make life difficult.
Our role is to help you find those challenges and create a safe space for you to face them without fear, and build skills so your life is less defined by what is not possible.
When we over rely on our strengths we can end up repeating what is safe and known. In this our opportunity to learn is diminished. It is through experimenting and exploring that we learn and discover and grow.
For children, our aim is to protect childhood, and allow children to develop at their own pace and lead when they can lead. And for adults it's never to late to "do the work" and broaden the foundations that we rely on, to allow us to continue to learn and grow through our lives.
We will work together; identify your true strengths as well as unhealthy patterns and coping strategies that are no longer serving you. Then scaffold your learning to create a more balanced and exploratory approach to coordination, posture, movement and interactions within your world. An approach that is richer in learning opportunities and opportunities for growth and personal development. Regardless of the origin of your neurodiversity we believe it can be a cause for celebration. As humans we are remarkable and have so much magic within us. We sometimes just need help to balance the want, with the how, and to notice what we are avoiding and what we fear.
When we over-rely on a limited number or strategies (be that movement patterns, routines or behaviours) it reduces our options. Fear and avoidance narrow the foundations we have to then build on in the future. We aim to support you as you navigate the journey through your life.
