Pediatric physiotherapy is specialized care designed for children from birth to 18 years old who face challenges in their physical development due to neurological and/or developmental issues. These conditions can impact a child's physical abilities, including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement, and balance. Pediatric physiotherapists are trained to address these issues and help children achieve their optimal physical potential.
Torticollis is a condition where a child’s head tilts to one side due to tight neck muscles, often resulting in asymmetrical head shape. Pediatric physiotherapy for these conditions includes stretching and strengthening exercises to improve neck mobility and correct head posture.
Treatment includes exercises to maintain strength, flexibility, and mobility, as well as adaptive techniques and assistive devices to support daily activities. The goal is to enhance quality of life, slow progression of symptoms, and maximize independence.
