Pediatric Rehabilitation; Physiotherapy techniques are used in the treatment of muscular or skeletal disorders and neurological disorders in children, which are sometimes congenital and sometimes appear later.
The main purpose of this treatment is to improve the child’s daily living skills and enable him/her to adapt to life.
The most important method of Pediatric Rehabilitation treatment is exercises. The purpose of these exercises is to bring the patient’s muscle strength to nominal levels, improve balance coordination, increase fine motor development, and ensure cognitive development. In these activities, the child’s personal development, skills and self-confidence progress positively.
