What is Paediatric Physiotherapy?
Helping Children Move Better, Not Faster
Paediatric physiotherapy focuses on:
- Gross motor development
- Muscle strength and coordination
- Balance and posture
- Movement patterns and functional skills
The goal is not to rush milestones, but to support the child’s natural development and prevent long-term difficulties.
Which children may benefit from Paediatric Physiotherapy?
Early Support Makes a Big Difference
Physiotherapy may be helpful for:
- Babies born preterm or with low birth weight
- NICU graduates
- Children with delayed motor milestones
- Babies with poor head control or muscle tone issues
- Children with movement asymmetry or stiffness
- Children recovering from illness or surgery
Early intervention often leads to better, faster, and more sustainable outcomes.
Physiotherapy for Infants
Supporting Early Motor Development
In infants, physiotherapy focuses on:
- Head and neck control
- Postural alignment
- Rolling, sitting, and crawling support
- Muscle tone regulation
Parents are actively involved, learning simple techniques they can continue at home.
Physiotherapy for toddlers & children
Improving Strength, Balance & Coordination
For older children, therapy may include:
- Strength and balance exercises
- Coordination and movement training
- Posture correction
- Functional mobility activities
The focus remains on improving everyday movement and independence.
