Paediatric physiotherapy focuses on helping children develop and improve their movement, strength, coordination, and functional independence. It is used to support children with neurological, musculoskeletal, and developmental conditions, ensuring they reach their full potential.

The knowledge, experience, and qualifications of a physiotherapist play a crucial role in identifying and addressing movement challenges early on. A well-trained therapist can recognise when a child’s development is following a natural course and when intervention is needed to prevent long-term issues.

At our clinic, we offer highly specialised hands-on therapy, utilising a variety of evidence-based methods, including NDT-Bobath, DMI, and PIMT, among others. This allows us to tailor treatments to each child's specific needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Electrotherapy is a specialised physiotherapy technique used to support children with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. It involves the use of controlled electrical stimulation to activate muscles, improve function, and promote neuroplasticity.

We use two main types of electrotherapy:

• Electrical Stimulation (ES) – Helps strengthen weak muscles, improve motor control, and prevent muscle atrophy by delivering gentle electrical impulses to targeted areas.

• Spinal Stimulation – A more advanced technique aimed at enhancing nerve communication and movement patterns, particularly beneficial for children with spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions.

Electrotherapy can be an effective addition to physiotherapy programs, helping children improve movement, strength, and functional independence.

Vibration therapy is a specialised physiotherapy technique that uses controlled mechanical vibrations to stimulate muscles, strengthen bones, improve circulation, and enhance neuromuscular function. It is commonly used in paediatric rehabilitation to support children with neurological, musculoskeletal, and developmental conditions.

This therapy can help improve muscle strength, balance, coordination, and sensory processing. It is particularly beneficial for children with cerebral palsy, hypotonia, developmental delays, and motor control difficulties.

By providing targeted stimulation, vibration therapy encourages better muscle activation, postural control, and overall movement development, supporting functional independence.

Cage therapy and Suit Therapy are advanced physiotherapy techniques used in paediatric rehabilitation to support children with neurological and developmental conditions.

Cage therapy involves exercises performed in a suspension system within a specially designed metal frame, allowing children to practice movements with controlled resistance and support. This helps improve strength, coordination, and balance.

Suit Therapy uses a specially designed suit with elastic bands to provide external support and resistance, promoting better posture, alignment, and muscle activation. It helps children develop functional movement patterns and improve overall motor skills.

Both methods are commonly used for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and neuromuscular disorders, enhancing their independence and quality of life.

Paediatric automated gait trainer

Gait training is a specialised physiotherapy approach designed to help children develop and improve their walking abilities. It focuses on enhancing strength, coordination, balance, and movement patterns, supporting children with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

At our clinic, we use advanced equipment to provide the best support for gait training:

• The PRODROBOT gait trainer – a robotic-assisted device that helps children practice stepping patterns in a controlled and repetitive way.

• The LiteGait suspension system with treadmill training – provides partial weight-bearing support, allowing children to practice walking in a safe and controlled environment while improving endurance, coordination, and step consistency.

Gait training can benefit children with cerebral palsy, developmental delays, muscle weakness, and gait abnormalities, helping them achieve greater mobility and independence.
