Supporting development and independence
Paediatric physiotherapy supports infants, children and adolescents in their motor development and independence – with developmental delays, postural abnormalities, disabilities or illnesses as well as injuries and musculoskeletal pain.
We always take the child’s cognitive, social and emotional abilities into account. In playful, individually tailored sessions we use developmental neurology concepts such as the Bobath concept. Experiencing success builds confidence in one’s own body – and this often has a positive effect on behaviour as a whole.
Children learn movement best when they can be active themselves. That is why we involve parents closely and, where needed, work with doctors, special-needs educators and other professionals. Together we set goals that fit the medical situation and the family’s daily life.
Our team at the Sonnenhof physiotherapy specialises in paediatric neurology and treats both internal and external patients.
