Physiotherapy

Role of Physiotherapist

Role of the physiotherapist is to provide appropriate assessment, advice, and intervention for physical difficulties which may occur due to a developmental delay, specific disorder, injury, or degenerative process. The physiotherapist will carry out a comprehensive assessment to establish a child´s baseline functional level and to ascertain whether their performance falls at an appropriate age level and with the quality expected.

Treatment Area

Typically physiotherapy treatment areas are:

• Delay in development
• Range of Motion
• Muscle strength
• Postural control
• Balance and equilibrium reaction
• Problems with gait control
• Visual motor skills
• Crossing the mid-line and bilateral integration skills
• Motor planning and quality of movement
• Sensory-motor integration
• Difficulties with physical activities

Ensuring a collaborative approach between family, therapists, and educational teachers is fundamental to success. It’s a team effort.

How Physiotherapy Can Helps Children with Developmental Needs

Physiotherapy at IndoCARE helps children with autism and other developmental needs who may have problem with:

• Gross motor skills (muscle weakness, postural control, and poor body balance, motor planning and also quality of movement)
• Pre-requisite skills for sports
• Physical fitness & socialization with their peers

We work to develop gross motor skills and sports skills through a physical exercise (Neuro Developmental Treatment, Sensory Integration) and play activity. We are also work collaboratively with Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, Teachers, and Parents to give a holistic approach so we can achieve the functional skills for living and learning goals.
