Child Physiotherapy

In Pediatric physiotherapy we provide specialized physiotherapy treatment for children aged between 0 and 18 years that have difficulty with their physical development as a result of neurological and/or developmental problems.

Neurological conditions can be as a result of problems with the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves.

Babies and/or children with neurological conditions may have difficulties with their physical functions including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement and balance.

Pediatric Physiotherapists assess, diagnose and treat Neurological, Developmental, Cardio Respiratory and Orthopedic conditions in children up to 18 years of age, with a focus on improving function an increasing independence.

  • Cerebral Palsy

    Stiff muscles (Spasticity)

    Uncontrollable movements (Dyskinesia/Athetoid)

    Poor balance and coordination (Ataxia)

  • Facial Palsy / ERB's Palsy

    Arm weakness & Loss of motion, due to Physical injury in new born.

    It's typically caused by a physical injury during newborn delivery or by traumatic force downward on the upper arm and shoulder

  • Delayed Developmental Milestone

    Kids can outgrow or catch up from developmental delays. Conditions that can cause developmental disabilities include

    Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome / Fragile X Syndrome, Brain injuries, Spina Bibida, Genetic Metabolic Disorder, Neurocutaneous Disorders.

  • Guillain Barre Syndrome

    A condition in which the immune system attacks the nerves.

    The condition may be triggered by an acute bacterial or viral infection.

    Symptoms start as weakness in the feet and legs that spread to the upper body.

    Paralysis can occur.

  • Spinal Injury / Foot Drop

    Injury to Spinal cord in children leads to many complexities which needs specific and immediate attention such as:

    Paraplegia / Paresis , Quadriplegia / Paresis, Bedsores / Ulcer, Bladder & Bowel.

    Unlike adults, children’s bodies are still developing and an SCI can significantly affect growth and posture.

    Luckily, children’s spinal cords are extremely adaptive and can rewire themselves much quicker than those of adults through consistent practice, as long as their SCI was an incomplete injury.
