About Pediatric Physiotherapy

Our pediatric physiotherapists support children of all ages—from infants to adolescents—in developing the strength, coordination, and mobility needed for everyday life. Whether your child has a diagnosed condition or simply seems delayed in motor skills, physiotherapy can provide targeted interventions that promote independence and well-being. Below are some of the key areas we address:

What Pediatric Physiotherapy Can Help With

Gross Motor Development

Rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking
Climbing stairs or getting on/off furniture
Running, jumping, hopping, and skipping
Engaging in age-appropriate play and sports
Early intervention can help close motor gaps and encourage continued development.

Muscle Strength & Endurance

Some children have reduced strength or tire quickly during physical activity. We work on:

Improving core/trunk stability for sitting and posture
Enhancing limb strength for climbing, walking, and lifting
Supporting overall endurance for school and recreational participation
Children with hypotonia (low muscle tone) especially benefit from structured strengthening programs that are functional and play-based.

Balance & Coordination

Children who are frequently tripping, bumping into objects, or described as “clumsy” may be experiencing challenges with their balance systems or body coordination. Our therapy focuses on:

Static and dynamic balance (e.g. standing on one foot, walking on uneven surfaces)
Eye-hand and bilateral coordination (e.g. catching balls, using both sides of the body together)
Spatial awareness and motor planning
Improved balance and coordination support safer movement and more confident participation in physical play and daily routines.

Torticollis & Plagiocephaly (Infants)

Early physiotherapy is important for infants showing:

A persistent head tilt or preference to look one direction (torticollis)
Flattening on one side of the head (plagiocephaly)
Our treatment may include:
Gentle stretching and positioning
Tummy time strategies
Parent education on carrying and play positions
The earlier therapy begins, the better the outcomes for symmetry and head shape.

Neurological & Developmental Conditions

Physiotherapy can play a vital role for children with

Cerebral palsy
Down syndrome
Global developmental delay
Genetic, neuromuscular, or chromosomal conditions
We tailor therapy to support:
Functional mobility (e.g., walking, transfers)
Assistive device use (walkers, standers, orthotics)
Increased independence in movement and daily life

Rehabilitation After Injury or Surgery

We help children recover and return to their usual activities following:

Fractures, ligament injuries, or joint sprains
Post-surgical procedures (e.g. tendon lengthening, casting)
Sports injuries or repetitive strain
Therapy focuses on restoring strength, mobility, and confidence—safely and gradually.
