Pediatrics

Pediatric physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of physical conditions. Exercise is an important component of pediatric physiotherapy, as it helps children to improve their strength, coordination, balance, and mobility. The exercises prescribed by a pediatric physiotherapist will depend on the child’s specific needs and condition. For example, if a child has cerebral palsy, exercises may focus on improving their balance, coordination, and range of motion. If a child has a respiratory condition, exercises may focus on improving their breathing and lung capacity. Pediatric physiotherapists may use a variety of techniques and equipment to help children exercise. For example, they may use balls, swings, and trampolines to help children improve their balance and coordination. They may also use resistance bands and weights to help children build strength. In addition to prescribing exercises, pediatric physiotherapists may also provide education and support to parents and caregivers to help them encourage their child to be active and engage in regular physical activity. They may also work with other healthcare professionals, such as pediatricians and occupational therapists, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for the child.
