Why Physiotherapy For Children?
Paediatric physiotherapy studies have demonstrated that physiotherapy can restore movement and body function, help affected children reach full potential, achieve age-appropriate development and enjoy a good quality of life.
Children are not just small adults but have specific physical, developmental, mental and emotional needs that must be considered for the best outcome.
However, there is evidence this branch of physiotherapy is also effective at encouraging physical fitness and promoting wellbeing in children without movement or functional issues. For example, healthy children and teenagers on physiotherapy programmes have been shown to have a lower risk of developing problems with posture and their consequences, such as low back pain.
