What People Say

Keara

Deirdre is a fountain of knowledge. Very professional,approachable, kind and understanding. We have been on a long journey over past three years. Our 12yo daughter has ASD, Tourettes & FND diagnosis with mobility issues and non verbal. Deirdre spoke directly to our daughter, explained what she was doing and every change. Highly recommended. Have forwarded report on to current medical team as it is so descriptive.

Emma Grace

I found Deirdre during an online search for a Peadiatric Physio for my daughter and we are so glad we did. My daughter was 4 months old and had a left side neglect due to her medical history. We traveled from Derry to Cookstown, an 80 mile round trip for an assessment. Deirdre was warm and professional and extremely knowledgeable and we instantly felt confident that she could guide and support us on our journey. We traveled fortnightly and sometimes weekly for our sessions and left each time with a detailed home plan. We could see the benefits of the work and Deirdre explained the process at each stage and the future benefit of each milestone. We are absolutely thrilled at our daughters progress, she is now 4 point crawling. I would not hesitate to recommend Deirdre, she is so knowledgeable on child development, all of which is backed by the recent research. I would definitely say she is the best in the business.

I took my 10.5 month old son to Deirdre at Move Kids Physio as he wasn’t rolling, crawling or trying to move, he just sat in one position. Deirdre assessed him and gave me exercises to do with him and one month after doing the exercises, my little boy is now rolling, crawling and pulling himself up to stand. I highly recommend Move Kids Physio, the results are amazing!
