Pediatric physiotherapy

Pediatric physiotherapy, also known as pediatric physical therapy, is a specialized area of physiotherapy that focuses on providing assessment, intervention, and support for children from infancy through adolescence who have movement difficulties, motor delays, or physical challenges. The goal of pediatric physiotherapy is to promote optimal physical development, improve functional abilities, and enhance a child’s overall quality of life.

Key aspects of pediatric physiotherapy include:

• Assessment: Pediatric physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate a child’s motor skills, movement patterns, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and posture. They also consider any underlying medical conditions, developmental milestones, and the child’s individual needs and goals.
• Individualized Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment findings, pediatric physiotherapists develop customized treatment plans that target specific areas of concern. These plans often involve a combination of exercises, activities, interventions, and techniques designed to address the child’s unique challenges and promote motor development.
