In 1929 a second session per month was started and a new
building, semi-permanent in character, was opened at the Mattock
Lane Centre in 1930 for massage and remedial exercises.
The following table shows the extent of the work performed
at the Clinic during the years 1927-1938. As a result of the
amalgamation with Hanwell and Greenford which occurred in 1926
the figures are only comparable from 1927 onwards as shown in
the table. At the commencement of the scheme the cases met
with were of a severe character but now, as they attend for treatment
early, they tend to be milder and more amenable to remedial
measures.
As the table shows, the majority of children are sent to the
Centre from the child welfare centres, at an age when many of
the deformities are very susceptible to treatment.
