Paediatric Physiotherapy

Paediatric physiotherapy focuses on assessing, treating, and supporting children with movement, developmental, and physical challenges from infancy through adolescence. The goal is to help children achieve age-appropriate motor skills, improve strength and coordination, and support healthy growth.

What It Covers

Paediatric physiotherapy addresses conditions such as:

  • Developmental delays
  • Flat feet / toe walking
  • Postural issues
  • Coordination or balance difficulties
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Brachial plexus injury
  • Genetic or congenital disorders
  • Autism-related motor challenges
  • Pediatric orthopedic issues (knock knees, bow legs, clubfoot)
How We Treat

Treatment is gentle, engaging, and tailored to each child’s developmental stage.

1. Developmental Assessment
  • Gross motor skill evaluation (rolling, crawling, walking, running)
  • Posture and alignment check
  • Muscle tone, balance, and coordination analysis
  • Identification of developmental gaps
  • This helps create a personalized treatment plan.
2. Growth-Appropriate Therapy
  • Motor skill training
  • Balance and gait correction
  • Strengthening exercises through play
  • Sensory-motor integration activities
  • Functional movement training
  • Therapy is conducted in a child-friendly, motivating way.
3. Corrective Techniques

Used for issues like flat feet, toe walking, posture abnormalities, and muscle tightness:

  • Manual therapy
  • Stretching and mobilizations
  • Orthotic guidance (if needed)
  • Foot strengthening and gait re-education
4. Therapy Through Play

Activities are designed to make therapy enjoyable:

  • Obstacle courses
  • Soft-play exercises
  • Ball games

  • Milestone expectations
  • Daily routine modifications
  • Parent participation ensures faster progress.

Where Can I Get Some?

What is Paediatric Physiotherapy?

Paediatric physiotherapy helps babies, children, and teens improve movement, posture, balance, and motor skills through gentle, child-friendly exercises. It supports healthy growth and corrects developmental or physical challenges early.

When should a child see a Paediatric Physiotherapist?

If your child has delayed milestones, flat feet, poor balance, toe walking, posture issues, or coordination difficulties, physiotherapy is recommended. Early intervention leads to faster progress and prevents long-term problems.

How does therapy work for children?

Therapy is play-based, using fun activities to improve strength, balance, and motor skills in a growth-appropriate way. Parents are also guided with home exercises to support daily improvement.
