Who can benefit from it?

Physiotherapy can benefit anyone who has difficulties with their physical skills. We help children with many conditions including but not limited to those with:

Plagiocephaly/Torticollis
Prematurity
Cerebral Palsy
Down Syndrome
Low muscle tone
Developmental delay

What role can caregivers play?

Parents and caregivers can be very involved in Physical Therapy depending on the interest and capacity of those involved. Caregivers are typically present in the room with the child during therapy, and frequently help the therapist understand how the child is doing at home and school, with attention to anything that has changed.
