Pediatric Physio

 Pediatric physio West Leederville is a branch of medicine that specializes in the management and treatment of infants, children, and adolescents.  Physio is used to treat a variety of acquired diseases/disorders, congenital, neuromuscular, developmental, or skeletal issues.  It will not only benefit the children but also the entire family.

Pediatric physio can help improve:

  • Coordination and balance
  • Gross and fine motor skills
  • Functional activities of daily living
  • Movement
  • Strength and endurance
  • Musculoskeletal posture issues
  • Play-based learning skills
  • Delayed social skills
  • Communication and cognitive skills
  • Sensory issues

Some of the issues that pediatric physio can help treat include:

  • Spina bifida—this is a birth defect that occurs when the vertebrae, or bones, of the spine, do not form correctly around part of a baby’s spinal cord. It can make daily activities and walking hard to do in severe cases.
  • Cerebral palsy—this is an umbrella term that is a group of non-contagious, non-progressive motor conditions. They cause physical disability in human development and is not a disease or genetic.  Most of the cases are congenital and happen at or about the time of birth.  This is usually diagnosed at a very young age instead of during adolescence.  It is often defined as a central motor dysfunction that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture.
  • Congenital muscular torticollis—this is also called infant torticollis and in Latin, it means twisted neck. For newborns, this can happen after difficult childbirth or because of the positioning of the baby in the womb.  The baby will have difficulty turning their neck or has a tilted head.  Some will also have developmental dysplasia of the hip.  This condition is also cause by the same two reasons.

Treatment

Physio Leederville is used for children that need improved strength, range of motion, ad postural coordination.  When there is an improvement in these areas, it will increase their gross motor development and quality of movement.  The goal is to help support improved motor development that will lead to increased mobility.  The treatment plan will place the emphasis on helping the child have a better quality of life.
