Pediatric Physiotherapy Conditions

Understanding Pediatric Physiotherapy: Nurturing Children's Health and Development

Welcome to Peak Physiotherapy and Wellness, where we specialize in pediatric physiotherapy services designed to support children's growth, development, and well-being. Our team of experienced physiotherapists is dedicated to providing compassionate care and personalized treatment plans to address a wide range of pediatric conditions. Below are examples of various conditions that our physiotherapists are skilled in treating:

• Developmental Delay/Gross Motor Milestone Delay: Children struggling to meet motor milestones such as grasping, rolling, sitting unsupported, transitioning, crawling and walking, will benefit from physiotherapy intervention to promote motor skills development. Our physiotherapists use play-based activities, exercises, and hands-on techniques to encourage movement, improve strength, and enhance overall motor function.

• Toe Walking: Persistent toe walking in children can be a concern for parents and may indicate underlying muscle tightness or sensory issues. Physiotherapy aims to address these issues through stretching exercises, muscle strengthening activities, and gait training to encourage heel-to-toe walking and improve overall walking patterns.

• Cerebral Palsy: Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition that affects movement and posture, often resulting in muscle stiffness or weakness. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing cerebral palsy by improving mobility, balance, and functional abilities through specialized exercises, stretching techniques, and assistive devices.

• Balance and Coordination Abnormalities: Children with balance and coordination difficulties may struggle with activities such as walking, running, or playing sports. Our physiotherapists assess balance and coordination skills and develop targeted interventions to improve proprioception, core stability, and motor planning through fun and engaging activities.

• Low Tone (Hypotonia): Low muscle tone can impact a child's strength, posture, and overall movement abilities. Physiotherapy focuses on strengthening weak muscles, improving postural control, and enhancing functional abilities through a combination of therapeutic exercises, sensory integration techniques, and positioning strategies.

• Torticollis: Torticollis is a condition characterized by tightness or stiffness in the neck muscles, resulting in limited neck movement and head tilt. Physiotherapy interventions include stretching exercises, manual therapy techniques, and positioning strategies to improve neck mobility, reduce muscle tightness, and promote symmetrical head alignment.

At Peak Physiotherapy and Wellness, we understand the importance of early intervention and specialized care in promoting optimal development and function in children. Our dedicated team is committed to providing comprehensive physiotherapy services tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family.
