What is Pediatric Physiotherapy?
Pediatric physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on helping infants, children, and adolescents develop optimal movement, strength, coordination, and function. It is designed to address developmental delays, injuries, neurological conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, and other physical challenges that may affect a child’s ability to move and participate in daily activities.
Pediatric physiotherapists use age-appropriate exercises, play-based therapy, hands-on techniques, and specialized equipment to make sessions engaging and effective for young patients. Treatment plans are tailored to each child’s unique needs, ensuring a fun, encouraging, and supportive environment for recovery and development.
