Paediatric Physiotherapists work in many different settings, including hospitals, clinics and private practice, special schools, primary care teams, educational and developmental centres – along with the child’s own home.
Treatment given by the Physiotherapist is based on an accurate assessment of the child followed by an individual treatment programme. The treatment programme includes explanation and instructions as appropriate to the child, the parents/ carers and those responsible for the child’s development.
Paediatric practice takes into account the fact that the child is not a small adult, but a developing human being.
