Physiotherapy
Overview
Physiotherapy, often referred to as physical therapy, focuses on optimizing physical function and mobility. In the context of our Centre, it is particularly valuable for children with developmental delays or motor impairments. Our skilled physiotherapists work closely with children to assess their physical abilities, develop individualized treatment plans, and provide targeted interventions to address a wide range of physical challenges.
How It Works
Our physiotherapists use a multifaceted approach to promote physical development and independence in children:
Assessment: The process begins with a thorough assessment of a child’s physical abilities and challenges. This evaluation helps identify areas of need and establishes a baseline for tracking progress.
Individualized Treatment Plans : Based on the assessment findings, our physiotherapists create individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s specific needs and goals. These plans encompass a range of interventions and exercises.
Motor Skill Development : Physiotherapy addresses motor skills, both fine and gross. Fine motor skills include tasks such as handwriting, while gross motor skills involve larger movements like walking and running.
Strength and Balance : Children with developmental challenges may experience weakness or balance issues. Physiotherapists work to build strength and improve balance, which are essential for daily activities and participation in school and recreational activities.
Range of Motion : Limited range of motion can be a significant obstacle for children. Our physiotherapy interventions aim to improve joint flexibility and range of motion, enabling children to move more freely.
Mobility and Gait Training : Children who face challenges with walking or mobility benefit from gait training and mobility exercises. Our therapists work on optimizing their walking patterns and improving overall mobility.
Posture and Body Alignment : Correct posture and body alignment are crucial for both physical comfort and effective movement. Our physiotherapists help children achieve optimal posture and alignment.
Pain Management : Some children may experience pain or discomfort related to their developmental challenges. Physiotherapy includes pain management strategies to enhance the child’s comfort and well-being.
Equipment and Assistive Devices : In some cases, physiotherapy may involve the recommendation and training in the use of assistive devices or adaptive equipment to support mobility and independence.
