Baby & Toddler Physiotherapy
To help you support your baby as they grow and develop
Overview of Baby & Toddler Services:
Watching your baby (and toddler) develop is such a special time but can also be anxiety provoking if you have any concerns with your baby’s movements or if you are concerned they are not reaching their physical milestones.
Help is out there and baby’s can be seen in clinic as soon as you are ready. Sessions involve a discussion around baby’s development so far and any concerns you may have, observation of baby moving and playing, gentle physical assessment and advice, positioning and activity ideas, help with environment set up, reassurance, and time to answer any questions (there are no silly questions here!)
Common Symptoms / Conditions including:
- Any concern regarding joint stiffness, pain, muscle tightness
- Head turning preference
- Flat spots on head (plagiocephaly, brachycephaly)
