What is Child Physiotherapy?
Child physiotherapy (Pediatric Physiotherapy) is a specialized healthcare service that supports children with physical developmental delays, movement difficulties, neurological conditions, injuries, or congenital disorders.
Therapy helps children achieve age-appropriate milestones such as sitting, crawling, standing, walking, and maintaining proper posture, enabling greater independence in daily activities.
When Does a Child Need Physiotherapy?
You may consider a physiotherapy evaluation if your child experiences:
- Developmental Delays - Difficulty rolling, sitting, crawling or walking.
- Movement Challenges - Trouble with coordination, balance or posture.
- Neurological Conditions - Cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy or head injury.
- Genetic Conditions - Down syndrome, spina bifida or muscular dystrophy.
- Pain, stiffness, or restricted mobility.
- Sports or Overuse Injuries - Helping children recover from strain or sports-related issues.
- After Surgery - Regaining strength, flexibility and confidence.
- Respiratory Conditions - Cystic fibrosis, to help with breathing and lung health.
Early assessment helps prevent long-term movement complications.
