Pediatric Physiotherapy

Pediatric Physiotherapy at IHR Guwahati

Helping Your Child Learn, Play, and Grow

Pediatric physiotherapy focuses on assessing and enhancing a child’s movement, strength, posture, and coordination. Unlike adult physiotherapy that aims to restore previously held function, pediatric therapy helps children achieve new motor milestones—like crawling, walking, and running—with confidence and safety.

Why Children Need Specialized Physiotherapy

Developmental Differences: Children’s bodies and brains are rapidly growing. Their movement patterns, muscle development, and learning styles differ from adults.
Enhanced Learning Ability: Children absorb and retain new motor skills quickly when therapy is tailored to their developmental stage.
Preventing Long-Term Challenges: Addressing movement delays and coordination issues early can prevent future complications and disability.

Common Conditions We Treat

Developmental delays (e.g., late walking, difficulty with balance)
Cerebral palsy and neuromotor conditions
Genetic or congenital disorders affecting movement

Orthopedic conditions like clubfoot or scoliosis
