What does a pediatric physiotherapist do?

The pediatric physiotherapist works in conjunction with other disciplines to draw up a treatment plan. For example, in collaboration with general practitioners, consultation bureaus, sports associations and teachers.

MoveWell keeps up to date with the most recent information and developments in pediatric physiotherapy and has invested in applicable knowledge and equipment.

Is pediatric physiotherapy insured?

Pediatric physiotherapy is insured with any basic health insurance for up to 18 treatments and may not be deducted as your own risk. In addition to dealing with the motor development of young children with or without a chronic condition, the pediatric physiotherapist also treats sports-related complaints.

When should my child consult a pediatric physiotherapist?

From birth, a child has to develop itself in numerous areas. Most children develop with normal motor development, but in some children there might be delayed or abnormal development. This can be due to a disorder of the senses, organs, nervous system, posture and musculoskeletal system. As a result, children can lack motor development and experience.

These children need guidance to master certain skills. A pediatric physiotherapist plays an important role in guiding this development. The function of the physiotherapist is characterized by a development-related and age-appropriate approach and guidance of the child and the parents. The pediatric physiotherapist works in a child-friendly environment with playful materials. The treatments vary widely, and the treatment plans are unique. The pediatric physiotherapist works at the practice an if needed, could also do home-based treatments. For more information about our children’s physiotherapy, visit www.kinderfysiotherapiehilversum.nl
