Physiotherapy

Pediatric physiotherapy focuses on helping children improve their movement, strength, and overall physical function. Children may require physiotherapy for various reasons, including developmental delays, congenital conditions, injuries, or disabilities. Pediatric physiotherapists assess a child’s physical abilities and design personalized treatment plans that aim to improve mobility, coordination, and muscle strength. The treatment often includes exercises, stretches, manual therapy, and specialized techniques like hydrotherapy or electrical stimulation, depending on the child's condition. For instance, children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or Down syndrome may benefit from physiotherapy to improve their motor skills and posture. Physiotherapists also work with children recovering from physical injuries, such as fractures, sprains, or sports-related injuries, to restore movement and prevent long-term disability. Pediatric physiotherapy is crucial for addressing issues like flat feet, scoliosis, or gait abnormalities. The goal is to enhance the child’s quality of life by improving functional independence and promoting physical activity.
