Physiotherapy :

Sensory Integration Therapy

Physiotherapy techniques help children with their movement, strength, balance, co-ordination and their overall physical functions. In SETU Child Development Centre we offer bespoke Physiotherapy programs for children that cater to each child’s individual developmental needs. Moreover, our qualified physical therapists look at every child’s skills and create a treatment plan for them. This means that children are able to receive focussed therapy to enhance mobility, independence and wellbeing.

Children have different rates of development for their physical skills. This means that before you start therapy our physiotherapists assess posture, strength of the muscles, balance, coordination, flexibility and gross motor development. We also identify any strengths and areas for further support for each child. Furthermore, we are utilising evidence-based physiotherapeutic techniques and fun exercises to further enhance movement and functional skill and confidence. Personalized approach encourages children to engage more in daily activities.

Physiotherapy can assist children in numerous ways.

Children with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, muscular weakness, balance difficulties, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and children with motor coordination problems, orthopedic, neurological diseases and other physical problems can benefit from our Physiotherapy services. Moreover, we collaborate with multidisciplinary team including occupational therapist, speech therapist, psychologist, special educator and parents. We also create regular therapy plans for family, school and clinical. Children thus benefit from coordinated care which promotes important physical growth and functional independence.

We employ evidence-based physiotherapy strategies, specific to the needs and developmental aims of each child at SETU Child Development Centre. In addition, our therapists create purposeful, fun activities for children to help them develop their movement, balance, coordination, strength and endurance skills. Furthermore, we support children to enhance their mobility, flexibility, motor planning and walking patterns, to name a few, as well as the development of their posture. As such therefore, children engage with the school more confidently, in play activities, sporting activities and in their daily activities. We also make regular progress assessments and modify therapy objectives as required to promote the maximum outcome.

A method that is proven to be effective and reliable within the medical field.

Parents’ support is very important for their child’s physical development. We engage families in the therapy process by giving regular updates of the progress, home exercise plans and practical advice. Also, we ask parents to participate in therapy activities in their daily routine. Children’s physical skills remain ongoing after therapy sessions and are reinforced in other activities throughout their day.

In SETU Child Development Centre, our aim is to allow every child to walk with confidence, and become more independent using individualized physiotherapy. Lastly, we must continue to provide evidence-informed care that is compassionate and will ensure the long-term physical development of every child and enhance their quality of life.
