It’s hard to believe it’s almost been a year since little Santi first stepped through our doors for physiotherapy. From the very start, his bond with our physiotherapist Cristina is undeniable, and Santi instantly brought joy to our team with his radiant smile! Santi has a rare neurological condition called Lissencephaly that affects brain development and leads to developmental delays, seizures, and serious health challenges. Though he faces significant challenges, Santana’s spirit and resilience continue to shine through every day. When Santi began his journey, he faced challenges with very low muscle tone, struggling to maintain his head and trunk against gravity. With weekly sessions and incredible support from Haven House, Santi has put in the hard work and dedication. We are thrilled to share that Santi has made remarkable progress. He can now maintain his head in midline, which has improved his spinal position and allowed him to explore his environment better. His trunk control has improved significantly, now being able to take steps with support and is developing the use his arms! “ Physiotherapy has been life-changing for Santi and our family. It has given him the tools and confidence to overcome challenges, making progress we once thought was out of reach. The care and dedication of the team have not only supported his physical development but have also brought so much hope and joy to our journey. Watching him grow stronger and more independent means the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for the difference physio therapy has made in his life. ” -Santi's mum, Milan Physiotherapy at Haven House focuses on enhancing comfort, function, and quality of life for children with complex and life-limiting conditions.

Treatments may include postural management, symptom relief, and specialist interventions such as hydrotherapy, offering therapeutic benefits in a warm, supportive environment.
