The Big Walk & Superhero Mile

The Big Walk is a fantastic family-friendly event on Saturday 22nd April. It attracts over 300 walkers each year and raises funds for Pace, an Aylesbury-based children’s charity, whose vision is to enable potential in children with neurodisabilities like cerebral palsy.

The registration fee is £15 for The Big Walk or £5 for the Superhero Mile. It includes: a participant’s medal, water, snacks and support team. Sign up at: < thepacecentre.org

New online children’s physiotherapist directory

Parents wanting to locate a local children’s physiotherapist can now use an online directory launched by the Association of Paediatric Chartered Physiotherapists. The majority of children’s physiotherapists work in the NHS. Your GP can advise about local services and make a referral, if appropriate. However, some parents choose to seek advice and treatment from an independent or private physiotherapist either instead of, or to supplement, NHS care.

Many children need support from a physiotherapist at some time during their childhood. This may be sought for advice and treatment relating to posture and movement or for acute injuries.
