About Pediatric Physiotherapy

Pediatric physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the treatment of infants and young children. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer pediatric physiotherapy for children between 0-5 years of age who are experiencing developmental delays, plagiocephaly, or torticollis.


Our trained therapists conduct a thorough assessment and create an individualized therapy program for each child, which may include in-clinic treatments, education for parents or caregivers, and a home exercise program.

  • How It Works

    Pediatric physiotherapy involves using play-type activities to help children achieve their developmental milestones. For instance, a child with developmental delays may engage in exercises that help improve their motor skills, while a child with plagiocephaly may receive treatments to help reshape their head. 


    Our therapists provide education to parents or caregivers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to support their child's development at home. The goal is to help each child reach their full potential in a fun and supportive environment.

  • Benefits of Pediatric Physiotherapy

    Pediatric physiotherapy is for infants and young children who are experiencing developmental delays, plagiocephaly, or torticollis. 


    If your child is having difficulty achieving their developmental milestones, or if they have been diagnosed with plagiocephaly or torticollis, pediatric physiotherapy could be a beneficial addition to their treatment plan. 


    Our therapists are experienced in treating these conditions and can provide the care and support your child needs. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

How We Treat Pediatric Conditions with Physiotherapy

At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we understand the unique challenges that children can face in their physical development. Conditions like developmental delays, plagiocephaly, and torticollis can impact a child's growth, movement, and quality of life.


Our specialized pediatric physiotherapy services are designed to address these conditions effectively. Our experienced therapists work closely with children and their families, providing personalized treatment plans and supportive care. In this section, we explore how physiotherapy can help manage and improve these specific pediatric conditions.

  • Developmental Delays

    Developmental delays can significantly impact a child's ability to reach their full potential. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, our pediatric physiotherapists are skilled in identifying and addressing these delays. 


    We work closely with children and their families to develop personalized treatment plans that focus on improving motor skills, strength, coordination, and balance. Through fun and engaging therapeutic activities, we aim to enhance your child's physical abilities and help them catch up to their peers.

  • Plagiocephaly

    Plagiocephaly, characterized by the flattening of one side of a baby's head, can be effectively addressed with physiotherapy. 


    Our therapists provide guidance on positioning and handling techniques to reduce pressure on the flattened area of the head. We also provide exercises to encourage movement and strengthen neck muscles, promoting a more symmetrical head shape.

  • Torticollis

    Torticollis, a condition where a baby's neck muscles tighten causing their head to turn to one side, can be effectively treated with physiotherapy. 


    Our experienced therapists provide gentle stretching exercises to help loosen the tightened muscles. We also provide guidance on positioning and handling techniques to encourage the baby to turn their head in both directions. 


    This can help improve feeding difficulties and prevent the development of plagiocephaly. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care for your child's physical health needs.
