10 Feb Have you noticed that your child slouches in sitting
Does your child seem to struggle to hold their head upright in sitting
Have you been told that your child has low muscle tone
If you answered yes to the above statements, then hopefully you have been told that Paediatric Physiotherapy can help your child! Here at My Favourite Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists sees many children with low muscle tone and developmental delay and we get great outcomes for them.
The key to overcoming low muscle tone is strengthening the tummy muscles and back muscles so that your child can sit straight and hold their heads upright to use their hands to play. To do this, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists carry out a full assessment of each child’s gross motor skills in lying, sitting and standing to determine where their weaknesses and strengths are. Knowing which gross motor skills are present and which gross motor skills are missing, allows our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists to design an individualised Intervention program for your child.
It is important to understand that every child is different, and so different approaches are required to help each child achieve their best potential. At My Favourite Physio, our Expert Paediatric Physiotherapists have access to a variety of treatment tools to help each child, including using Theratogs, Dynamic Movement Orthosis, Integrated Listening System, Dictus Bands, Customised Orthotics, Harnessed Treadmill walking, Radial Shockwave Therapy and Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound. We offer regular intensive physiotherapy sessions and we believe that every child should demonstrate observable improvement week on week when following our therapy program.
