Changes parents and therapists have seen
For many children receiving therapy, parents and therapists have seen real changes. In some cases there are improvements in concentration and social behaviour too.
Our therapies can’t cure these conditions. But we can help improve a child’s quality of life by reducing pain, increasing mobility, teaching coping mechanisms and building self-esteem.
Primary conditions
We see a wide range of conditions including:
We can also provide palliative help for children who are terminally ill.
Secondary conditions
We can help with some of the secondary conditions these children live with day to day. These can include:
Who qualifies
We treat any child with a need. Our centre is in Coventry but children from anywhere are welcome as long as they can get to us.
We help families where treatment isn’t available on the NHS or is limited there. We also help families who can’t afford private treatment.
We work alongside other local services so care is co-ordinated for the children most in need.
What parents say
The support we have been gaining since we joined is massive, I can see my son’s behaviour has changed and improved through out the therapies. I would recommend this service to anyone.

We started our Tiny Tim’s & Purple Planet journey on 20th of April 2018!!! I never knew how my children’s lives and mine would change! All I did was fill in a simple form and I became part of a supportive community. I will forever be eternally grateful to the staff at Tiny Tim’s and Purple Planet. They have welcomed us from day 1 with open hearts and genuine smiles. They fully understand our children are special and need to be treated as such. Both my children have blossomed following their Occupational and Massage therapy sessions. Before Tiny Tim’s both my children constantly complained about aches in their joints and muscles. My Son was even under a specialist at the Hospital for testing, as we could not understand why he was in so much pain! After 6 weeks of Bowen Therapy he no longer complained about his bones hurting! He now has Bowen therapy once a week to help maintain a pain free state. Before Tiny Tim’s Occupational therapy input, both my children had many different concerns and difficulties and were on a huge NHS waiting list. Thanks to Ting Tim’s amazing Occupational Therapy Team my Son’s hand writing improved significantly, with a session once a week for about a few months he was able to write at his name and a sentence without being in constant pain, he also learnt how to regulate his emotions too! My daughter also had some amazing input from Occupational Therapy, she learnt not be frightened of brushing her teeth and encouraged to taking a shower and washing her hair without getting distressed! Both my children love going to there therapy sessions and then popping into the amazing Purple Planet play area for a hot chocolate, piece of cake and a play. My Son has even stated he wants to work at the Purple Planet on a Saturday when he is old enough and I can’t wait!
