Children’s Physiotherapy



What’s the difference between children’s physiotherapy and paediatric physiotherapy?
There are a number of key differences between children’s physiotherapy and paediatric physiotherapy. The most notable is that paediatric physiotherapy must only be performed by a qualified paediatric physiotherapist. This takes additional training after you have already become a qualified physiotherapist.
Additionally, a children’s physiotherapist places a larger focus on treating issues that arise from children’s sport as well as any issues that may impact their growth development.
