A paediatric physio enhances children’s motor skills, addresses developmental challenges, and improves overall physical well-being.
As parents, we always want the best for our children. We want them to grow up healthy, strong, so they can tackle life’s challenges head on. But, sometimes, children may encounter developmental hurdles that require professional guidance.
Let’s look at what these hurdles may look like and what the Paediatric Physiotherapy process involves at NWP Lutwyche.
Common reasons for seeking paediatric physiotherapy
Parents often bring their children to a paediatric physiotherapist for various reasons.
These may include concerns about:
– Delayed motor skills:
Difficulty achieving developmental milestones such as sitting, crawling, or walking.
– Musculoskeletal issues:
Pain or stiffness in muscles or joints.
– Postural abnormalities:
Issues with how a child sits, stands, or moves.
– Pre-existing conditions:
Conditions like autism, cerebral palsy, or muscular dystrophy that benefit from targeted physiotherapy interventions.
Paediatric physiotherapist services
At North West Physio, Lutwyche, we offer a range of specialised services tailored to children’s needs, including:
– Functional training:
Game-like therapies that improve range of motion, muscle strength, movement coordination, planning, and proprioception.
– Cuevas Medek exercises (CME Therapy):
Dynamic, challenging exercises manually applied to enhance developmental motor functions from infancy through childhood.
How to know if paediatric physiotherapy is necessary
Determining whether your child would benefit from paediatric physiotherapy can be a joint decision between parents and healthcare providers. Look for signs such as delays in achieving developmental milestones appropriate for their age.
