Our expert has years of experience in pediatric physiotherapy and she aspires to help children feel better.
Pediatric physiotherapy takes care of babies from 0 to 24 months old as well as children aged from 2 to 5 years old who demonstrate motor development disorders. The physiotherapist specializing in pediatrics can greatly help parents by giving them specific advice and exercises through play, in order to ensure the good and harmonious growth of the child.
