Pediatric Physiotherapy Edmonton
We are well trained, qualified pediatric physiotherapist with more than 20 years of experience who will attend to the special need of your child.
What is Pediatric Physiotherapy?
The goal of pediatric physiotherapy is to facilitate participation, development and independence in life taking into consideration the unique, ever-hanging needs of the growing baby, child and adolescent.
Pediatric physiotherapists have a clear understanding and knowledge base of pediatric conditions and illnesses, growth related conditions and developmental stages and milestones. They are aware of primitive reflex patterns seen in babies and young children and can identify abnormalities in growth, posture, alignment and development. Pediatric physiotherapists are also specialists in growth-related conditions and injuries that present in pre-teen and adolescents.
Pediatric physiotherapy is the right option for your child if they are experiencing problems, pain or gross motor challenges related to growth and/or development.
