Physiotherapy Assessment

When a paediatric physiotherapist sees a baby or child for the first time they will look at the child’s movement, their posture, strength and tone of the upper and lower limbs and movement in their joints.

Physiotherapy Treatment

From the assessment a specific treatment programme is tailored to the child’s individual needs and goals. It is essential that treatment is age appropriate and fun to ensure good compliance and to enable integration into the child’s daily routine.

Occupational Therapy and Speech & Language Therapy

We work alongside paediatric OT’s and SALTs who can also see children at home or school.

How Could My Child Benefit From Paediatric Physiotherapy?

There are many causes of children having developmental delay, injury to the brain, orthopaedic or neurological problems. Depending on the individuals’ issues (found in the assessment) there can be problems with mobility, posture, standing, walking, going up stairs, balance and function. The physiotherapist will work on training the large muscles in the body and increasing their strength particularly in the legs, arms and stomach. They will aim to increase the body control and help develop better:

  • Massage to help with soft tissues and muscles
  • Treatments to improve movement in the joints and improve tone
  • Specialist stretching exercises for the child
  • Exercises and stretches will be taught to parents and helpers also so can be done between therapy sessions
  • Easy to follow exercise programmes will be provided
  • Postural advice and general advice
  • Walking aid advice or other mobility aids advice if required

Health2u can order in any equipment for the child that can help with their rehab such as gym balls, exercise bands, wobble cushions, sensory items, mats and any other equipment which will help motivate the child to exercise.
