Physiotherapy
What is Paediatric Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapists who work in the field of paediatrics provide support and treatment services to the paediatric population. They understand that children are very different from adults. These health professionals have a good understanding of typical child development and how this relates to body systems and functions. While paediatric physiotherapists use many of the generic skills of physiotherapy, they use further skills and training within the fields of development and growth to treat infants through to teenagers.
