Welcome

Bumble Bee Physio is a popular, specialist children’s physiotherapy service which provides fun and quality paediatric physiotherapy at their beautiful open space clinic in South Hampstead.

Our determined and hard-working children have so much fun they forget they’re working hard! Our superstars at BBP have a range of conditions including Rett syndrome, cerebral palsy, Angelman syndrome, autism, Down’s syndrome and more.

Our open-gym clinic in South Hampstead is full of state-of-the-art equipment for DMI therapy and Targeted Training, with gait trainers, standing frames, Lycra suits, orthotics & more! Up to 2 children are treated with one-to-one physios, in the large, welcoming space. This is the perfect balance of friendliness and distraction, without the overwhelming noise of a huge open clinic!

Here at Bumble Bee Physio, our child physiotherapy takes a different and specialist approach.

After all, if you broke your leg, you wouldn’t go to a stroke physiotherapist! We believe paediatric physiotherapy should take the same approach, and only trust in the best, experienced and specific care for your child’s neurological diagnosis. Adult services are split across different specialties with no cross-training, and we apply the same high-quality style to our own paediatric physiotherapy service in London. ‘Children’ is an age group, NOT a speciality! And kids deserve the same tailored approach to their physiotherapy care as adults. Read all about our specialist team here.

We are unlike other children’s physiotherapy services who offer basic and ‘general’ paediatric care because our skills are specific to paediatric neurology. This is shown in our fantastic results, although we really can’t take the credit for our superheroes’ determination and willpower! Read all about our BBP superstars here!

We are able to provide virtual physiotherapy assessment and treatment, highly specialist second opinions, and liaise with your own children’s physiotherapy team if you live outside London. Find out more here.

During our children’s physio sessions, your child and family come first. All of our short, medium and long-term measurable goals are tailored to your specific needs. Whether that’s transferring to a plane seat for a summer holiday, standing with support to play at a water table or improving head control to smile and laugh with friends, we always put our superheroes’ wishes first. If our physio friend is non-verbal – don’t worry! We have lots of experience in understanding our non-verbal friends, and enjoy working out their likes, dislikes and motivations! We have regular speech and language therapy training and utilise these skills with all of our clients. Find out more about the conditions we treat or get in touch for a friendly chat here.

Our London Clinics

Our home clinic is in South Hampstead, a beautiful leafy open space in the heart of Hampstead, full of state of the art equipment for DMI, Targeted Training, and more! We also have a satellite clinic in Aldgate on Wednesdays, right in central London.

South Hampstead Clinic

Our open space clinic at the Abbey Centre is bright and friendly, and we see up to 2 children at a time for therapy sessions. This works perfectly for a little socialization and distraction from the hard work, whilst not being too overwhelming for our clients! We have a team of 4 physiotherapists working here throughout the week, and often a second physiotherapist will be available for second opinions and very challenging exercises!

This fully accessible clinic is part of The Abbey Centre, a warm and vibrant centre serving and helping its community. There are tables and chairs with free tea and coffee, and blue badge parking available on the road. You can access this clinic via London Overground Overground to South and West Hampstead stations, Kilburn Park via the Bakerloo line or Swiss Cottage via the Jubiliee line. There are multiple buses that stop right outside the centre.

Testimonials

Leili SM

‘I completely trusted Hannah working with my baby and could tell he enjoyed his time with her after having cried his eyes out with every other physiotherapist!’

Happy Customer

‘We saw great results with our son and she was also about to put our own minds at ease. I would strongly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a physiotherapist for their child. She was great with my son – even when he became frustrated – and the programme that she developed for us worked really well.’

Happy Customer

‘Amazing experience with fun sessions which engage my difficult five-year-old son. Thank you Hannah!’

Happy Customer

‘Joshua has really enjoyed the SDR superheroes sessions Hannah has been doing during the lockdown. She makes the physio fun and uses great themes each week! Thoroughly enjoyed at our house! Thank you Hannah.’

Happy Customer

‘We are in the process of scheduling a follow-up visit and feel really positive that more regular input from the team that we are going to arrange for the new year will help Go Go to achieve so much.

Happy Customer

‘Finding private therapy can be really tough – we have had both positive and negative experiences with this over the years but Bumble Bee really feel like the right fit. Their goals are very much in line with ours and the care, attention and knowledge they have is a winning combination. Most importantly Go Go seemed very at ease with Hannah and Darnisha She is a great judge of character and I will take her lead on this one. After all, Go Go is the one who is going to be putting the work in. Thank you so much Bumble Bee!’
