Is physiotherapy good for children?

Physiotherapy can be very beneficial for children. Physiotherapy can help children with developmental delays, muscle or joint pain, or joint stiffness. It can also help children develop motor skills, balance, coordination, and strength. Infinity Allied Healthcare Chatswood offers paediatric physiotherapy treatments.

Why would a child need paediatric physiotherapists for paediatric physiotherapy services?

Paediatric physiotherapy at our Chatswood clinic is a specialised form of physiotherapy done by a paediatric physiotherapist that helps children with physical and developmental difficulties resulting from conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injury, developmental delay, acquired brain injury, and other neuromuscular disorders. Paediatric physiotherapists specialise in various techniques such as stretching, strengthening, balance, coordination, and postural alignment to help improve a child's strength, flexibility, and functional abilities. They also use play-based activities to help a child develop motor skills, coordination, and balance. Paediatric physiotherapy can also help with pain management, breathing difficulties, and posture. Contact our Chatswood branch for more information.

Does Your Child Need Physiotherapy?

Your child’s paediatrician or GP will often recommend physiotherapy if your child has complications during pregnancy, birth or has a physical condition.

As a parent or caregiver, you can observe for signs at home to prevent overlooking your child’s movement difficulties (which can often be subtle). These signs include:

Not meeting certain milestones (e.g., skipped crawling, not jumping)
Clumsy and uncoordinated movement pattern
Poor balance, frequently tripping or falling over obstacles
Altered walking pattern
Stiff and tight muscles or joints
Floppy body
Sensory sensitivities (e.g., avoiding touching certain textures)
Sensory seeking (e.g., always moving around, leaning on people or things)

If you notice any of these signs, or have concerns about your child’s development, reach out to our paediatric physiotherapist for a comprehensive assessment. We are committed to ensure your little one experiences a smooth and healthy growth journey!
