Hi! I'm single mum to a 4 year old daughter that has thriparesis. I have two boys as well. She has started to walk 3 mths ago. We have relocated abroad so she can have intense phisiotherapy and this has worked  really well. It's time to return to UK and I wonder what's the best option for me to fund my daughter's therapy now that I'm single.I used to pay £90/45 min session and I believe she should have this at least 3 times a week. That time, NHS phisio team didn't offer much therapy.  I have no relatives that could help me. Could you advise please.

    Hello @Adelina and welcome to our online community.

    I'm not sure what thriparesis is.  I wonder if you made a typo or if I'm missing the obvious!  If you could let us know a bit more about your daughter's condition that'll help us guide you.

    If it did come to fundraising to pay for it, Scope's new 'Fundraising for things you need' webpage is definitely worth a read.  But hopefully there will be another way.  

    I hope you and your family are well today and looking forward to hearing back from you :)

    Hi @Adelina - & welcome to the community. You could have a look at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's website, where there's a link to find private physiotherapists. Please see: https://www.csp.org.uk/
    I'm unsure if you're back in the UK yet, but hopefully, if you could find a neurophysiotherapist, they may show you exercises to do at home too.
    Depending where you live, or intend to live, a Bobath Centre would be very helpful, & they have a link to contact them to find out about fundraising for therapy, & charities that may be able to help with this. See: https://www.bobath.org.uk/therapy/funding-options
    Perhaps this also may give you some ideas. :)
