Adaptability Therapy offers Physiotherapy services for children and young people around Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Logan. Our kids’ Physiotherapy team is highly experienced in working with babies, young children and adolescents. Babies and children have unique anatomical, physiological and psychological needs compared to adults. At Adaptability Therapy, our Paediatric Physiotherapists have extensive training and experience with children and take into consideration these different requirements in order to treat children effectively. We take a goal-oriented approach, working on the skills and functioning that are important to the children and families we see. We use best-practice assessments and interventions to guide and design quality programmes to meet your child’s goals. Physiotherapy input may include motor learning through play, equipment or adaptations, strengthening and conditioning, movement training, intensive hands-on therapy, hydrotherapy as well as education and parent training. Our Paediatric Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists work closely together to ensure optimal outcomes for their clients. Hydrotherapy can have many positive benefits for Children with disabilities, injuries or illnesses. Hydrotherapy, or Aquatic Physiotherapy, is the use of water for therapy, rehabilitation, exercise, relaxation and more. Conducting therapy in water utilises the unique properties of water, including decreased gravity, buoyancy and warmer temperatures of around 32 degrees celsius. These properties are used by the Physiotherapist to enhance the recovery and rehabilitation of clients with a wide range of conditions and provide a unique environment to maintain health, wellbeing and fitness. Children with physical disabilities, restricted movement and associated pain and stiffness can float on the pool surface in specially designed equipment and either maximise the movement they have or be moved and facilitated by their Physiotherapist to maintain joint range. Children with autism spectrum disorder or sensory processing differences can find physiotherapy in water very beneficial. It can assist with social interactions and behaviours of concern, and the effects of water immersion can reduce over stimulation and associated stress. Water exercise, like other forms of exercise, can assist in weight control, improve sleep patterns and reduce anxiety, as well as address tone or balance concerns. Hydrotherapy is not swimming lessons, but can be used to work on a range of developmental milestones such as head control, rolling and sitting that are important for swimming. If these milestones are not reached, then it is likely that a child’s swimming skills or ability may be impacted. Hydrotherapy could help in the following conditions: What can a Paediatric Physiotherapist help with?
