Children's physiotherapy equipment, Scarborough

27 FEBRUARY 2025

York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity has funded specialised children’s therapy equipment, which plays a crucial role in supporting children with a wide range of physical, developmental, and neurological needs.

Children with complex needs often require specialised therapy equipment to aid in their development and recovery. These needs can range from physical disabilities that require rehabilitation tools, to neurological conditions that need tailored sensory equipment.

Rachel Emerson, Therapy Assistant, said: ‘The equipment makes the sessions more engaging for patients, and has enabled us to update our resources.  We are now able to use the equipment in nurseries, and local schools in the area.

‘Physiotherapy colleagues recommended floor level equipment for wheelchair users; we are very grateful to York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity for funding this equipment which will greatly enhance patient care’.
