Welcome to Play Move Grow, a Children’s Physiotherapy and developmental service based in Norfolk, run by Chartered Physiotherapist Rachel Pailes. Rachel’s aim is to provide children and their families with practical, sustainable and functional therapy / developmental support through Play and Movement, to enable children to Grow into happy and confident individuals.
With over 15 years experience as a children’s physiotherapist, Rachel has a passion for early intervention and the importance of the early environment and experiences on motor, sensory and functional development as well as overall wellbeing.
She works with children under the age of 12 from her clinic, individual homes and schools.
“Infancy and childhood is a time of great change. As babies adapt to the world around them any vulnerabilities in their development emerge.
The maturing neurological and musculoskeletal system mean that the developing body is subject to common conditions unique to childhood and that early experiences can model and mould patterns of development, laying the foundation for future health and function.
At Play Move Grow we therefore focus on early intervention and offer a range of packages to support families with their child’s development”.
