Pediatric physiotherapy

Pediatric physical therapy is therapeutic care appropriate to the child's age and level of development. It is aimed at infants, children, or adolescents who present with sensory-motor developmental disorders, a disability, or problems secondary to an illness or injury. The physiotherapeutic intake is centered on the needs and motivations of the patient and his or her family and social context.

Goals of pediatric physiotherapy

  • Treat problems of the locomotor system and the respiratory and neurological systems.
  • Facilitate social reintegration following illness or accident.
  • Ensure a good quality of life for the infant, child and adolescent and promote their autonomy.
  • Stimulate motor development.
  • Select, introduce, instruct, and adapt his or her aids.
  • Teach the child and his or her parents or caregivers the gestures of daily living and appropriate exercises.
  • Listen to the child and his entourage and respond appropriately to their questions.
  • Ensure preventive action.

Quality treatment

  • The care of pediatric patients is provided by specialized physiotherapists who are continuously being trained.
  • Close collaboration between the child, his or her family, his or her social environment, and the pediatric physical therapist is prioritized in the care.
  • Interdisciplinary exchange with other professionals in health and education is routinely pursued.
  • A pleasant and playful setting with age-appropriate tools is proposed.
