Why do babies have physiotherapy?
The best practice for motor skill acquisition is freedom of movement. If there are any developmental delays, an evaluation is important.
DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY
Neurological disorders, prematurity, congenital torticollis, obstetric brachial plexus palsy, cranial asymmetries, respiratory diseases, among others.
PREVENTION
Assessing and periodically monitoring the development of babies and providing guidance to families.
AT-RISK BABIES
All babies who are at risk of developmental delays are considered at-risk:
✓ Babies born prematurely;
✓ Babies born with low birth weight;
✓ Babies born with congenital malformations;
✓ Babies with severe asphyxia;
✓ Babies with a history of long periods of hospitalization.
