Helping Kids Move, Play and Be The Best They Can Be

Nutrimind Care is committed to making sure that every child can move freely, explore the world, and engage in their day-to-day activities. Child care is the target population for the care we provide through our Physical Therapy (PT) for child care program, where we help children work through movement challenges, enhance their strength and coordination, and develop confidence in their own physical abilities.

If your child experiences delayed gross motor development, weakness in the muscles used for movement, balance problems, or a physical disability, then our team of specialised paediatric physical therapists offer comprehensive, tailored, evidence-based therapy to help your child increase mobility and quality of life.

The Importance of Physical Therapy for Children

Physical therapy is used for children who have challenges with movement, coordination and physical function from many health conditions, such as:

✅ Developmental Delays – Milestones like rolling, crawling, standing, or walking starting later.

✅ Cerebral Palsy (CP) – stiffness of muscles, weakness, and difficulty with movement.

✅ Genetic Disorders – Down syndrome and other genetic disorders that affect muscle tone and/or coordination.

✅ Muscular Dystrophy – Progressive weakness in the muscles impacting mobility

✅ Neurological Disorders – Disorders affecting motor control, balance & posture.

✅ Sports Injuries – Recovery from fractures, sprains or overuse injuries.

✅ Post-Surgical Recovery – Regaining strength and mobility after surgery.

✅ Balance & Coordination Problems – Difficulty standing, walking, or playing safely.

✅ Toe Walking – Walk around on your toes rather than using a flat-footed gait.

If your child is struggling with any of these problems, our specialised paediatric physical therapy programme at Nutrimind Care can help.
