Frequently Asked Questions
Should you have further questions please read through our frequently asked questions for more information.
How does down syndrome affect physical development, and can physiotherapy assist patients in Parramatta?
This condition usually causes delays in all areas of development. Physiotherapy management of down syndrome for our Parramatta patients can assist them with developing the necessary muscle tone and strength, to develop their gross and fine motor skills, which will improve their physical development milestones.
Can paediatric physiotherapy assist down syndrome children?
Yes, a paediatric physiotherapist can assist children by teaching them to move optimally whilst they grow to strengthen the necessary muscles and avoid having to correct this in adulthood.
Is occupational therapy or physiotherapy better for down syndrome treatment?
An occupational therapist (OT) assists patients with improving skills needed for daily activities, therefore both therapists can be beneficial to a down syndrome person. Our Parramatta physiotherapists can work together with an OT to establish the best treatment plan for a patient.
