HELPING CHILDREN START OFF ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Injuries happen, even in kids and adolescents. PROPEL’s practitioners are experts in paediatric injury management of various conditions! More importantly, they are skilled in detecting the root causes of injuries, so they can be addressed quickly and effectively, preventing future ailments – letting your kids be kids once again.
Although they may be less common, injuries in the paediatric population (i.e., kids under the age of 18) do occur. While most are minor scrapes and bruises, many paediatric injuries require professional attention. Depending on the age of the patient, and the nature of the condition, paediatric ailments often come with a unique set of challenges.
We manage a variety of paediatric conditions including, but not limited to the following needs:
Orthopaedic Injuries/Conditions
Developmental Delays:
Gait Abnormalities:
Neurological Conditions:
The type of encounter will vary, depending on the condition and the child's age. Adolescent conditions are often similar to those of an adult, and the treatment and advice are largely directed at the child. Infant and toddler treatment is often play-based and interactive, with the majority of the emphasis placed on parental education about the condition, and how to manage it at home.
Play-based exercise rehabilitation is an important component of Paediatric Physiotherapy because play is a fundamental aspect of childhood development. Play-based exercise rehabilitation incorporates games, within a child’s preference and skill level, specifically chosen to focus on reaching the child’s physiotherapy goals.
Play is a crucial aspect of childhood. Incorporating play into physiotherapy allows the child to work towards their specific goals within a setting that they are familiar with. Physiotherapists can use play-based exercise rehabilitation to help a child reach their full potential. There are many benefits to therapeutic play:
