Babies Physiotherapy

From time to time, babies may require physiotherapy intervention to assist with their movement and milestone achievements. Our physiotherapists provide comprehensive support for babies with various needs, including:

Elementary Classroom

Head Control

Assisting in developing and strengthening the neck muscles necessary for your baby to hold their head up independently. Techniques include positioning and exercises to promote head control.

Rolling

Helping your baby learn and practice rolling over, a key developmental milestone. Physiotherapists provide exercises and techniques to encourage rolling, enhancing overall motor skills.

Flat Spot on Babies Head (Plagiocephaly)

Offering strategies and exercises to address and prevent flat spots on the head. Interventions include positioning advice, tummy time, and, if necessary, referrals for helmet therapy.

Torticollis

Managing conditions like torticollis (tight or shortened neck muscles) through stretching, positioning, and strengthening exercises to improve neck mobility and symmetry.

Tummy Time

Guiding parents on how to properly engage their baby in tummy time activities, which are crucial for strengthening neck, shoulder, and back muscles. Tummy time also helps in preventing flat spots on the head.

Crawling

Providing exercises and techniques to encourage and support your baby in learning to crawl. Crawling is essential for developing coordination, strength, and motor planning skills.

Developmental Delay Assessment
