Pediatrics

Home Pediatrics

Pediatric physiotherapy is one of the major specialties in physiotherapy. Pediatrics physiotherapists provide therapeutic interventions within the context of the developing child. Pediatric physiotherapists work with people of varying ages from premature babies to adolescents to ensure optimal physical function and development. Pediatric physiotherapy covers the aspects of development, movement, co-ordination, posture and the cardiorespiratory system. The pediatric physiotherapists provide a program that is family and child-centered, while encouraging children to enjoy, participate, and become independent. In addition, pediatric physiotherapists provide procedural interventions to minimize the effects of physical impairment and to promote optimum function and typical development. Some interventions are focused on:

  • musculoskeletal posture, movement, strength and endurance
  • gross and fine motor skills
  • sensory issues
  • balance and co-ordination
  • play based learning skills
  • functional activities of daily living
  • adapted or specialized equipment
  • social, cognitive and communication skills
  • motivation and emotional support
