From those first wobbly steps to mastering the art of climbing, watching your little one gain new motor skills is both exciting and rewarding. But sometimes, concerns may arise. We offer a comprehensive range of services specifically designed to support your child's journey towards confident and independent movement.
Benefits of a motor-skills development plan:
If your child has been diagnosed with a developmental delay, such as cerebral palsy or Down syndrome, our physiotherapy programs can be tailored to their specific needs, promoting improved movement and function.
Crawling, climbing, jumping, and running – these fundamental skills are crucial for physical development. We can assess your child's gross motor skills and create a program to enhance coordination, balance, and strength
From grasping toys to mastering tasks like buttoning a shirt, fine motor skills are essential for everyday activities. We can help your child develop the dexterity and control needed for successful fine motor tasks.
Does your child struggle with maintaining balance or seem clumsy during playtime? Our physiotherapists can assess potential balance and coordination problems and create a fun and engaging program to improve these essential skills.
We can also create personalised programs to help children with specific conditions that may affect motor skills development, such as: torticollis (tight neck muscles), muscular dystrophy (muscle weakness) and ataxia (balance and coordination problems).
Though it might not be their favourite position, spending time on their tummy is essential for babies. This strengthens neck and back muscles, which are the foundation for future movement milestones like rolling over and crawling.
Did you know that mimicking is a superpower for developing motor skills? Imitating helps them learn coordination and movement patterns. So next time your little one tries to copy your phone call, embrace the silliness – it's their brain hard at work!
