Physical and Developmental Disabilities
About this resource
Physiotherapy treatments focus on increasing mobility, strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, motor planning and other gross motor skills for children with neuromuscular, congenital and acquired disorders.
We see children both for early intervention (ages 0-5) and school-age therapy (ages 5-18). Some commonly seen conditions include:
-Cerebral Palsy
-Muscular Dystrophy
-Autism Spectrum Disorder
-Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21)
-Spinal Muscular Atrophy
-Developmental Coordination Disorder
-Global Developmental Delay
-Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
-Rare genetic conditions (such as Kabuki Syndrome, CHARGE Syndrome, Prader-Willi Syndrome)
and many more!
