Why do children need physiotherapy?

Picture
Neurological Conditions
Children with cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy or chromosomal disorders (such as trisomy 21) have difficulties learning to use their bodies, hands and legs to create meaningful movements and develop motor skills. 
 

Prematurity
Children born prematurely spent their early infancy in hospitals. Their immature body systems put them at risk of significant motor delays.  They find it more challenging to coordinate their little arms and legs and hence the need for extra assistance.

 
Prolonged Illness
Children do become physically weak after a bout of very serious illness that resulted in a long hospital stay.  These children experience muscle wasting, become breathless with mild exertion and tire easily.  Physiotherapy will rebuild their physical strength and endurance. 
 

Ligament strains and muscle aches
Toddlers and young children may have loose ligaments that don’t support their joints well.  The ligaments that hold up the arches of the feet are often affected, giving rise to flat feet.  These kids often complain of feet pain and muscle aches after physical activity.
