Every child’s rehabilitation journey is unique, and over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing three stories from our paediatric rehabilitation service that highlight this beautifully.

Meet Thomas, Charlie and Maisie, three remarkable children whose journeys reflect the heart of what we do at Healing Touch Rehab.

While each story is different, they are united by a shared commitment to meaningful, holistic rehabilitation that is purposeful, family-centred, and tailored to the individual needs of each child. These journeys are shaped not only by clinical expertise, but by determination, resilience, and the unwavering support of those around them.

These stories are about determination, trust, resilience, and the power of having the right support. They are reminders that progress isn't always measured in giant leaps, but often in the small steps that slowly build towards something life-changing.

We’re proud to walk alongside these children and their families, and we’re looking forward to sharing more of their journeys with you 🤍

Isaac’s journey is one of determination, resilience and amazing progress 🌟

Isaac is a charming and inspirational young man with cerebral palsy who has benefited from a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach in his rehabilitation journey 🥼

Following his SDR surgery in 2019, a procedure designed to reduce spasticity in children with CP, Isaac received intensive physiotherapy through statutory services alongside targeted independent provision. By working closely with the NHS team and following his orthopaedic post-operative guidance, his rehabilitation programme was tailored to help him achieve the best possible outcomes.

Through a combination of hydrotherapy, land-based therapy, support within his educational setting and intervention at home, Isaac has made meaningful physical and functional gains, alongside improvements in his overall motor function.

His progress has been phenomenal, and his determination and commitment to therapy have been a huge part of that success ✨

The Healing Touch Rehab team was at the British Association of Brain Injury and Complex Case Management (BABICM) Conference this week, joining professionals from across the brain injury and rehabilitation sector to mark 30 years of the British Association of Brain Injury Case Managers 🎉

The programme was a strong one: sessions on Paediatric Neurorehabilitation and Integrating Innovation and The Frontal Lobe Paradox Field Guide by Dr Ben Marram were particular highlights, both packed with insight and plenty to take back to our work with clients.

What always stands out at events like this is the quality of the conversations. The brain injury and case management community is one that genuinely shares knowledge, supports one another, and keeps pushing for better outcomes for the people they serve. That collaborative spirit is something we value deeply at Healing Touch Rehab.

Congratulations to BABICM on 30 years, and thank you to the organisers for putting together such a well-rounded and energising event 💙

We recently delivered our Early Intervention training session, and the feedback from attendees was incredibly meaningful 💙

Every attendee rated both the content and delivery as Excellent, and the key takeaways reflected exactly what we hoped the session would achieve.

Understanding the importance of early intervention and seeing that knowledge resonate with the professionals who support children and families every day is something truly special.

Here are just a few of the areas attendees found most valuable:
💬 Gaining a deeper understanding of the benefits of early intervention and how Deputies can play an active role in facilitating access to support
🩹 Exploring recommended equipment and learning how it can be used effectively to support clients in practice
📊 Reviewing case studies and understanding complex data and graphs through clear, accessible explanations from the trainers
⏱️ Developing a practical understanding of treatment frequency, equipment requirements, and product recommendations to support confident decision-making

If you work with children and young people with neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions whether as a case manager, deputy, or legal professional, this training has been designed with you in mind.

We run sessions regularly and would be delighted to welcome you to a future event. To find out more or register your interest, please get in touch with our team:

Earlier this month, we were proud to host a Yorkshire Acquired Brain Injury Forum (YABIF) event at Healing Touch Rehab, bringing together clinicians, legal professionals and specialist colleagues.

It was an evening focused on paediatric early intervention and the safeguarding implications when that intervention is delayed 💙

Our Clinical Director, Kay Ganguly, presented on the importance of early intervention in protecting against unavoidable harm for children with complex disabilities, and the conversations throughout the evening reflected just how much shared commitment there is across our sector to protecting futures and supporting families.

What made the evening so valuable was the mix of people in the room. When clinicians, legal professionals and other specialists share knowledge and strengthen relationships in this way, it creates a much stronger foundation for the children and families who need joined-up, coordinated support.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and contributed 🙏

We know that the strongest progress happens when care is joined up, intentional, and truly centred around the child 💙

Child’s development doesn’t happen in isolated parts, it is a connected process. Movement, regulation, attention, and confidence all influence one another every single day.

This is reflected in the close integration between our Paediatric Sensory Occupational Therapy and Paediatric Physiotherapy provision, creating a joined-up pathway of care.

🩻 Paediatric Physiotherapy builds the physical foundations, strength, balance, posture, and mobility. These are the essential building blocks that support a child to roll, sit, stand, and move through their environment.

🥼 Paediatric Sensory Occupational Therapy then builds on this foundation supporting how the child processes sensory information, develops fine motor control, plans movements, and applies these skills in real-world daily activities.

When these two disciplines work together, something powerful happens, support becomes joined-up, and progress becomes functional.

This integrated approach helps children not just develop skills, but use them with greater confidence, regulation, and independence in everyday life.

Meaningful rehabilitation isn’t about isolated gains. It’s about helping a child feel more capable in the moments that matter most.

Last month, we delivered our Vestibular Rehabilitation training session, and the feedback from attendees was fantastic ✨

Vestibular dysfunction is far more common in neurological conditions than is often recognised. When left unidentified, it can have a significant impact on a person’s balance, coordination, vision, confidence, and ability to engage in everyday life.

For case managers and professionals supporting individuals following neurological injury or illness, understanding the signs and symptoms can make a real difference to the referrals, interventions, and support pathways put in place.

Attendees came away with a clearer understanding of how vestibular pathways can be affected following acquired brain injury, alongside practical tools to help identify when vestibular rehabilitation may be appropriate for a client.

The feedback reflected just how valuable that practical focus was:
💬 “Really interesting subject and the checklist of symptoms to observe for will really be helpful, especially for INAs.”
💬 “Brilliant session, really helpful. Very relevant to case managers.”

If you work with clients who have experienced neurological injury or illness and would like to learn more about vestibular rehabilitation or attend a future training session, we would be delighted to welcome you to our future event.
