Physiotherapy
Pediatric physiotherapy is a specialized service tailored to children and adolescents. Our experienced pediatric physiotherapists provide assessments and treatments that are child-friendly and developmentally appropriate. Whether your child is dealing with developmental delays, musculoskeletal issues, or injuries, our pediatric physiotherapy services aim to improve their physical function, mobility, and overall well-being. We create fun and engaging therapy sessions to ensure that children feel comfortable and motivated to reach their milestones and achieve their physical goals.
Occupational Therapy
Pediatric occupational therapy focuses on helping children develop the skills they need for daily activities and tasks. Our experienced pediatric occupational therapists work with children who may have challenges related to fine motor skills, sensory processing, attention, and self-care. Through a child-centered and play-based approach, we provide interventions that support children in reaching their developmental milestones and participating in everyday activities effectively.
Speech Language Pathology
Pediatric speech language pathology is a specialized service designed to help children with communication and speech difficulties. Our experienced pediatric speech therapists work with children who may have speech delays, articulation issues, language disorders, or difficulties with fluency. We offer a range of assessments and interventions to support children in developing their communication skills, enhancing their ability to express themselves, and improving their overall communication abilities.
Pediatric Massage
Pediatric massage is a gentle and therapeutic approach to promoting relaxation and well-being in children. Our experienced massage therapists use specialized techniques that are appropriate for children to help them relax, reduce stress, and improve their overall comfort. Pediatric massage can be beneficial for children dealing with anxiety, sensory processing issues, or physical discomfort. It creates a calming and nurturing environment where children can experience the benefits of touch in a safe and enjoyable way.
Caregiver Massage
Caregiver massage for children is a service that focuses on providing relaxation and stress relief for parents or caregivers of children with special needs or complex medical conditions. Caring for a child with unique needs can be demanding, and caregiver massage offers a rejuvenating experience for parents or caregivers to unwind, reduce stress, and restore their own well-being. It acknowledges the importance of self-care for caregivers who provide dedicated support to children with special requirements.

It is an exoskeleton device that helps children with limited mobility to experience walking and movement. The Trexo Robot offers a unique and innovative approach to pediatric rehabilitation by providing a safe and supportive means of mobility.
