Pediatric physiotherapy is a specialized area of healthcare that supports the physical development, movement, and function from infancy through adolescence. It focuses on building strength and mobility while reaching developmental milestones or managing medical conditions. Using engaging play-based techniques, pediatric physiotherapists create individualized treatment plans that encourage active participation. By working closely with families, they also provide guidance and exercises to continue progress at home. Early intervention can play a key role in guiding a child’s growth and development and overall quality of life.

​

A thorough assessment will be completed to identify areas of concerns and to guide play-based treatment. An individualized treatment plan will be created to help in building strength, coordination, and mobility to promote your child’s independence and further strengthen their abilities. It is recommended to bring your infant’s favourite toys to your visit to facilitate assessment and treatment.
