During the consultation, the physiotherapist conducts a functional assessment of the child: observing the way they move, the quality of their movements, their body position, and assessing muscle tone and its changes during activities. Appropriate stimulation of the child's body inhibits undesirable reflexes, and in their place, physiological movement patterns emerge, enabling the child's proper development.
The service is dedicated to children with abnormalities such as:
- Muscle tone disorders,
- Delayed psychomotor development,
- The occurrence of congenital defects,
- Asymmetry of body position (e.g. torticollis).
The advice is also addressed to parents of healthy children who want to assess their newborn's development and learn how to stimulate and support it.
We can schedule an appointment for both a child with identified functional abnormalities and a healthy child, in order to stimulate their proper development.
Referrals issued by a physiotherapist:
- A physiotherapist can issue a referral for rehabilitation treatments for children,
- A physiotherapist cannot issue referrals for diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or CT scans. For these purposes, you must see a medical doctor.
