Toddlers
Toddlers become increasingly aware of themselves and their surroundings, with key developmental milestones in how they play, speak, behave, learn and move.
Paediatric Physiotherapists have excellent knowledge of normal development and how the child’s neurological, muscular and skeletal system changes through key periods of growth and development. We are able to recognise abnormalities in gait patterns such as in-toeing, out-toeing or toe walking, and provide guidance of how to manage a child who may not be moving appropriately for their age.
The treatment approach may be more rotted in play and providing training and education for the family or care team to support the child as they move through their first few years.
