CONDITIONS TREATED BY PEDIATRIC PHYSIOTHERAPY
Developmental Delays
Pediatric physiotherapy is instrumental in
addressing developmental delays, where children
may not reach motor milestones within the
expected time frame.
Neurological Disorders
Conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida,
and genetic neurological disorders can
significantly impact a child's motor function.

APPROACHES AND TECHNIQUES IN PEDIATRIC
PHYSIOTHERAPY
The hallmark of pediatric physiotherapy is the
integration of play into therapeutic
interventions.
Play-Based Therapy
Tailored strengthening exercises help children
build muscle strength, addressing weaknesses and
improving overall physical function.
Strengthening Exercises
To enhance flexibility and joint mobility,
pediatric physiotherapists employ range of motion
exercises, ensuring that children can move their
joints through their full range comfortably.
Motion Exercises
Specialized exercises are designed to improve
balance and coordination, addressing challenges
associated with motor planning and spatial
awareness.
Coordination Training
Children with sensory processing issues benefit
from sensory integration therapy, which aims to
improve the brain's ability to interpret and
respond to sensory input appropriately.
