We employ a variety of techniques tailored to the needs of each child, including exercises to improve strength, balance, coordination, and motor skills. Some of our specialised treatment options include CME and Spider Cage.

Paediatric Physiotherapy at LEAP Centre

At LEAP Centre, our paediatric physiotherapists specialise in supporting the unique physical development and rehabilitation needs of children. Our team is expertly trained to work with a range of conditions, from common developmental delays to complex neuromuscular disorders. Through a combination of hands-on therapy, exercises, and playful activities, we focus on enhancing motor skills, strength, coordination, and balance. Our therapists are dedicated to creating a fun, engaging, and supportive environment, enabling children to reach their full physical potential. By working closely with families, we provide tailored strategies and home exercises to reinforce progress and encourage active participation in daily activities. Our goal is to empower each child with the physical skills and confidence they need to explore, play, and engage with the world around them.

Paediatric Physiotherapy Services:

We believe in the importance of collaboration and family involvement in the therapy process. Our occupational therapists work closely with parents and caregivers to provide education, support, and resources to promote fine motor skills development at home. We offer practical strategies and activities that families can incorporate into their daily routines to reinforce therapy goals and facilitate progress outside of the clinic setting.

  • Gross motor skills towards developmental milestones:

    This is a crucial aspect of paediatric physiotherapy as it focuses on helping children achieve important motor milestones like sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Our therapists provide targeted interventions to support the development of these skills.
  • Working with children with neurological conditions towards gross motor milestones:

    Children with neurological conditions often face unique challenges in achieving gross motor milestones. Our therapists specialise in addressing these challenges and helping children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and traumatic brain injury reach their motor milestones.
  • Muscle Tone & Strength:

    Muscle tone and strength are essential for overall physical function and mobility. We provide interventions to address issues related to muscle tone and strength, helping children improve their motor function and independence.
  • Balance & Coordination:

    Balance and coordination are critical for activities of daily living and participation in sports and recreational activities. Our therapists work on enhancing these skills through targeted exercises and activities.
  • Posture Training:

    Proper posture is important for preventing musculoskeletal issues and promoting optimal physical function. We offer posture training programs to help children develop and maintain good posture during various activities.
  • Gait Training including devices and treadmill training:

    Gait training focuses on improving walking patterns and mobility. We offer comprehensive gait training programs tailored to individual needs, which may include the use of assistive devices and treadmill training.
  • Orthopaedic rehabilitation:

    Orthopaedic injuries or surgeries can affect a child's mobility and function. Our rehabilitation programs aim to restore mobility, strength, and function following orthopaedic interventions.
  • Neurological Rehabilitation:

    Children with neurological conditions require specialised rehabilitation to address their unique challenges. Our neurological rehabilitation programs focus on improving motor function, mobility, and independence.
  • Spider Cage/body weight support systems to assist children working towards gross motor skills:

    Spider cages and body weight support systems are valuable tools for children working towards gross motor skills. These systems provide support and assistance during therapy sessions, allowing children to practice and develop their motor skills in a safe and controlled environment.
  • Cuevas Medek Exercise (CME):

    Cuevas Medek Exercise is a therapeutic approach used to improve motor function in children with neurological conditions. It involves dynamic and progressive exercises that challenge the child's balance and coordination. Our therapists are trained in CME techniques and incorporate them into treatment plans as appropriate, aiming to enhance motor skills and functional independence.
  • Standing frame and walker prescriptions :

    Assistive devices such as standing frames and walkers can support children with mobility impairments. Our therapists assess children's needs and prescribe appropriate assistive devices to enhance mobility and independence.
  • Stretching and moving muscles through range of motion:

    Stretching and range of motion exercises are essential for maintaining flexibility and preventing contractures. Our therapists incorporate these exercises into therapy sessions to improve mobility and joint function.
  • Assistance with exercises for children with movement disorders:

    Children with movement disorders may require specialised exercises to improve their motor function. Our therapists provide tailored exercise programs to address the specific needs of each child and promote optimal motor development.
  • Ball skills and motor planning to assist with playground and community access:

    Ball skills and motor planning are important for children's participation in playground and community activities. Our therapists focus on developing these skills to enhance children's confidence and independence in various environments.
