If your baby shows signs of delayed motor milestones (such as rolling, crawling, or walking), struggles with head control, has an unusual posture, or has been diagnosed with a condition like torticollis or clubfoot, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine the best approach.
Baby physiotherapy can support a wide range of conditions, including neuromuscular and developmental issues like primitive reflex integration, delayed motor development, and Erb’s palsy; orthopedic concerns such as flat head syndrome, torticollis, wry neck, and clubfoot; respiratory conditions like bronchiolitis and chest congestion; and cranial or musculoskeletal imbalances treated with gentle osteopathy.
