Training and Teaching

Empowering families, carers and professionals with the skills and confidence to support children every day.

At StarPhysio we believe that families, carers, schools and therapy teams play a vital role in supporting a child’s development. Our training and teaching programmes are designed to give people the confidence, knowledge and practical skills they need to make therapy part of everyday life. Whether it’s learning how to support postural care, practising safe handling techniques or developing aquatic therapy skills, our workshops are interactive, tailored and grounded in real-life experience.
