Our Physiotherapy Team works to support children and young people aged 0-16 years in the North Kirklees area. We work with children and young people with a wide range of conditions that affect their movement, posture, or physical skills development. We support children and young people to do what they need to do – grow, play, learn and be a part of family, school and social activities.
Our service is child and family-focused and we are committed to empowering self-management. As well as providing assessment and treatment, we provide the information and education that individuals and their families need to support their children.
We have staff based in the Children's Centre (often referred to as CDC/Child Development Centre) on the site of Dewsbury and District Hospital. For information about this location, and relevant parking information please click here.
The Children's Centre is next to the Children's Place Nursery, down a small road with parking, and opposite the Staincliffe Wing.
We also see children at home and in the education setting (North Kirklees) as appropriate.
To contact us via phone, please call 0300 304 5555.
We are a friendly and experienced team of physiotherapists, a clinical care assistant, and a receptionist/administrator. We are part of the wider Children’s Expert Team and we won an award for the category 'Clinical Team of the Year' in 2023.
Patients are regularly asked about their experience. Locala respects the privacy of our patients and their carers and is committed to listening to a diverse population. Therefore our surveys are anonymous and include equality and diversity questions for monitoring purposes only.
