Physiotherapists are able to diagnose and provide treatment intervention for a range of musculoskeletal conditions in children including posture irregularities, sporting injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation.
A thorough physical assessment is able to discover the cause behind the child’s presenting symptoms and aid in successful planning of an intervention plan suitable for each individual child.
Physiotherapy treatments may involve
- Manual therapy techniques to improve joint range of motion and relieve muscle tension
- Individualized exercise programs consisting of strengthening and stretching exercises to correct muscle imbalances
- Taping techniques to facilitate proprioception and muscle recruitment
- Advice for schools and successful return to activity
