 A pediatric physiotherapist can provide specialized physiotherapy treatment for children aged between 0 and 12 years that have difficulty with their physical development as a result of neurological or developmental problems. Babies with neurological conditions may have difficulties with their physical functions including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement & balance.

Our pediatric physiotherapists have 14 years of  experience in treating a variety of neurological pediatric conditions including:

• Gross motor delay
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Cerebral Palsy
• Hypotonia
• Muscular Dysrtophy
• Torticollis
• Developmental Coordination Disorder
• Down Syndrome
• Spina Bifida
• Acquired Brain Injury
• Other genetic disorders

Neurological physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of individuals with conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. These conditions often lead to difficulties with physical functions such as mobility, muscle strength, balance, coordination, and overall independence. What it aims to achieve.

The primary goal of neuro physiotherapy is to help individuals rehabilitate physical impairments caused by neurological conditions. This involves: 

● Maximizing potential: Helping patients achieve the highest possible level of physical function. 

● Improving quality of life: Enhancing independence, confidence, and participation in daily activities and social life. 

● Slowing down deterioration: For progressive conditions, it aims to manage symptoms and slow the decline of physical abilities. 

● Preventing secondary complications: Addressing issues like muscle weakness, stiffness, pressure sores, and respiratory problems that can arise from neurological conditions. 

● Optimizing recovery: Particularly crucial after acute events like stroke or traumatic brain injury, early and intensive neuro physiotherapy can maximize recovery. 

 Key principles and approaches: 

Neuro physiotherapy heavily utilizes the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections in response to experience, learning, and rehabilitation. Therapists use various techniques to "rewire" the brain and help patients learn or re-learn tasks and abilities. Common conditions treated: Neuro physiotherapists treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including: 

● Stroke 

● Multiple Sclerosis (MS) 

● Parkinson's Disease 

● Spinal Cord Injury 

● Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) 

● Cerebral Palsy 

● Guillain-Barré Syndrome 

● Motor Neuron Disease 

● Muscular Dystrophy 

● Functional Neurological Disorders 

● Polyneuropathies 

● Peripheral nerve injuries 

 Geriatric physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on the unique needs of older adults. As people age they often experience various physical changes that can impact their mobility, balance, strength & overall independence. Geriatric physiotherapists are trained to address these age-related challenges and help seniors maintain or regain their optimal physical function and quality of life. 

 Why is Geriatric Physiotherapy Important? 

 Aging can bring about a range of physical issues, including:

 ● Decreased muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia): Leading to weakness and difficulty with daily activities.

 ● Reduced flexibility and joint stiffness: Caused by conditions like arthritis. 

● Impaired balance and coordination: Increasing the risk of falls. 

● Chronic pain: From conditions like osteoarthritis, back pain, or neuropathy. 

● Reduced cardiovascular and respiratory function: Affecting stamina and energy levels. 

● Post-surgical rehabilitation: Recovery from hip/knee replacements, fractures, etc.

 ● Neurological conditions: Such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, or dementia. 

Geriatric physiotherapy aims to mitigate these effects, allowing older adults to live more independently, safely, and comfortably. Common

 Physiotherapy in women's health is a specialized field that focuses on the unique physiological needs and conditions of women throughout their lifespan. This includes addressing issues related to the pelvic floor, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, menopause, and various musculoskeletal and gynecological conditions 

We offer specialized programs for women's health issues such as

 ● Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: 

This is a core area of women's health physiotherapy. It encompasses a range of issues related to the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel, and uterus. Conditions include: 

○ Urinary Incontinence: Involuntary loss of urine (e.g., stress incontinence with coughing/sneezing, urge incontinence). 

○ Faecal Incontinence: Involuntary loss of stool or gas. 

○ Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP): When one or more pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum) descend into the vagina, causing a feeling of heaviness or bulging. 

○ Pelvic Pain: Chronic pain in the pelvic region, which can be caused by muscle tension, nerve irritation, endometriosis, or other factors. 

○ Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia): Pain during or after sexual activity. 

○ Vaginismus: Involuntary spasm of the pelvic floor muscles that makes vaginal penetration difficult or impossible. 

○ Constipation and Bowel Disorders: Issues where pelvic floor dysfunction contributes to difficulty with bowel movements. 

● Pregnancy and Postpartum Care: 

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in supporting women through the physical changes of pregnancy and aiding in postpartum recovery. This includes: 

○ Musculoskeletal Pain: Managing back pain, pelvic girdle pain (PGP), sciatica, and hip pain often experienced during pregnancy due to hormonal changes and weight gain. 

○ Antenatal and Postnatal Exercises: Tailored exercise programs to maintain fitness, improve posture, strengthen core muscles, and prevent or treat incontinence.

Our team of physiotherapists work closely with athletes to help them recover from injuries, improve performance, and prevent future injuries.

 Key aspects of sports physiotherapy include: 

● Injury Prevention: Sports physiotherapists work proactively to identify risk factors, assess biomechanics, analyze movement patterns, and educate athletes on proper training techniques and equipment use to prevent injuries before they occur. This might involve designing personalized exercise programs to address weaknesses or imbalances. 

● Injury Assessment and Diagnosis: When an injury occurs, a sports physiotherapist conducts a thorough assessment to diagnose the nature and extent of the problem. 

● Treatment Interventions: They utilize a range of evidence-based techniques to address musculoskeletal issues, reduce pain, and promote healing. 

● Rehabilitation: A customized rehabilitation plan is developed to restore function, mobility, and strength after an injury, aiming for a safe and effective return to sport. 

● Performance Enhancement: Beyond injury recovery, sports physiotherapy also focuses on optimizing athletic performance by improving strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall physical condition 

 Benefits of Sports Physiotherapy:

 ● Faster Recovery Time: Accelerates the healing process through targeted interventions.

We offer online physiOtherapy services for patients who prefer the convenience of telehealth, or for those who live too far from our clinics.

 How it Works: 

Virtual physiotherapy typically involves: 

● Video Consultations: Patients connect with a physical therapist via video conferencing platforms (e.g., Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp Video call) for initial assessments and follow-up sessions.

 ● Personalized Exercise Programs: Our therapist assesses the patient's condition, range of motion, and mobility remotely. Based on this, they create a customized exercise plan. 

● Digital Resources: Patients access their exercise programs through mobile web platforms, which include tutorial videos, progress tracking tools, and educational materials. 

● Real-time Feedback: During video sessions, therapists guide patients through exercises and movements, providing real-time feedback on form and technique. 

. ● Remote Monitoring: Our therapists can monitor patient progress remotely and modify treatment plans as needed based on patient feedback and reported pain or function levels. 

 Benefits of Virtual Physiotherapy: 

● Convenience and Flexibility: Patients can receive care from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating travel time and transportation barriers. This is especially beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, those in remote areas, or busy professionals. 

● Increased Accessibility: It makes physiotherapy services accessible to a wider range of people, regardless of their geographical location. 

● Cost-Effectiveness: It can be more affordable than in-person sessions as it eliminates travel expenses and often has lower session costs. 

● Improved Engagement and Adherence: Digital platforms with reminders, progress tracking, and easy access to exercise videos can help patients stay consistent with their rehabilitation program. 

● Continuous Monitoring and Support: Regular virtual check-ins allow for ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the treatment plan, enhancing effectiveness. 

● Empowers Patients: It encourages patients to take a more active role in their rehabilitation journey by providing them with the tools and guidance to manage their symptoms independently. 

 Effectiveness: 

Research suggests that virtual physiotherapy is equally as effective as in-person physiotherapy for improving physical function and pain related to injuries (both new and chronic), arthritis, and pre/post-surgery rehabilitation. While some argue that the inability to physically palpate an area is a drawback, virtual sessions allow for a more patient-centered approach, focusing on verbal guidance, observation, and education.
