Physiotherapy aims to identify each child’s neurological impairment. This helps them to develop their full physical potential and reach important milestone of development, for example: rolling, sitting, crawling, kneeling, standing and walking. The therapy improves and maintains mobility and functioning of muscles using standing frames and ensuring good posture in wheelchairs and buggies. The correct use of orthotic splints and other apparatus is shown to families to ensure the best outcome of the child. The therapists assist parents with home programmes and assistants they help in the handling and positioning of the children.
