Paediatric Physiotherapy
At Little Strides Physiotherapy, our paediatric specific service, we understand that children have unique needs when it comes to physical health and development. Our Paediatric Physiotherapy services are designed to address these needs with specialised care and a child-friendly approach. Our goal is to help your child achieve their fullest potential in a supportive and engaging environment.
What is Paediatric Physiotherapy?
Paediatric Physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of physical conditions and developmental issues in children. It involves tailored interventions that support the physical, motor, and developmental milestrones of infants, children, and adolescents. Our approach is designed to be both effective and enjoyable, helping children to stay motivated and engaged throughout their therapy.
