Pediatrics Physiotherapy
At Mississauga Pelvic Health, we provide specialized pediatric physiotherapy to support infants, children, and adolescents in achieving optimal movement, strength, and coordination. Our goal is to enhance physical development, improve mobility, and help children participate fully in daily activities.
What is Pediatric Physiotherapy?
Pediatric physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of movement disorders in children. Whether a child is experiencing developmental delays, musculoskeletal conditions, or neurological challenges, early intervention can make a significant impact on their mobility, independence, and overall quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
Gross Motor Developmental Delay
Gross motor developmental delay occurs when a child has difficulty achieving age-appropriate movement milestones. These can include sitting, crawling, standing, walking, jumping, and running. Physiotherapy helps improve coordination, strength, balance, and overall motor skills to support a child’s functional development.
Musculoskeletal Conditions
Musculoskeletal conditions affect bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues. These can be present from birth, develop over time, or result from injuries. We provide physiotherapy for conditions such as:
​
-
Torticollis (tight neck muscles leading to head tilt)
-
Plagiocephaly & Brachycephaly (head shape concerns)
-
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)
-
Idiopathic Toe Walking
-
Pes Planus (Flat Foot)
-
Scoliosis (curvature of the spine)
-
Osgood-Schlatter Disease (knee pain in growing children)
-
Sprains & Strains
-
Soft Tissue Injuries & Sports Injuries
Neurological Conditions
We provide specialized care for children with neurological conditions that impact movement, posture, and muscle tone. Common conditions include:
​
-
Cerebral Palsy (CP) – A group of disorders affecting movement, muscle tone, and coordination due to early brain development issues.
-
Hypotonia – Decreased muscle tone leading to weakness and poor postural control.
-
Hypertonia – Increased muscle tone, often causing stiffness and limited movement.
Pediatric Physiotherapy Techniques
​
Our approach is tailored to each child’s unique needs and may include:
-
Therapeutic exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion.
-
Balance and coordination training to enhance motor skills.
-
Gait training for children with walking challenges.
-
Manual therapy to improve joint and soft tissue mobility.
-
Motor control exercises to refine movement patterns and functional skills.
