Children develop at different rates. Therefore, differences in mobility are common and it is not worth comparing the child too much to their friends.
However, it may be a good idea to study the situation with a specialist if the development of the child's mobility or functional capacity is delayed or the child has other difficulties with movement.
Perhaps the child's movement is clearly different from their peers or they have challenges related to misalignments. Perhaps the situation is caused by unvaried and abundant physical activity or the lack of exercise due to spending too much looking at screens.
Physiotherapy can also be part of the child's medical rehabilitation, for example, in the treatment of cerebral palsy or a muscle disease.
When your child has challenges with mobility, there is no need to be alone. A paediatric physiotherapist can help all growing children and adolescents, for example, in these situations:
Paediatric physiotherapists always interact with the child as an individual. The treatment is based on the age of the child and their preferences, wishes and needs.
The physiotherapist examines the child's ailment according to their age. In most cases, the physiotherapist applies methods that involve play and observes the child's activities. The treatment plan is prepared in cooperation with the parents.
Various exercises are usually done as a sort of play. The child does not have to worry about their abilities. Instead, the physiotherapist plans the exercises according to the child’s preferences. If necessary, the physiotherapist will also guide you in the procurement of aids.
The most important part of care takes place in the child's everyday life. The physiotherapist gives the parents advice on how to support the child's rehabilitation at home. The exercises take into account the child's own preferences and suitable means of motivation.
In most cases, paediatric physiotherapy is provided as treatment periods. The child's rehabilitation is monitored at follow-up appointments. In the case of medical rehabilitation, the treatment relationship can continue for a long time.
If you are worried about the development of your baby or toddler, such as mobility or interaction, you can get help from the Mehiläinen Motor Development Clinic.
At the Motor Development Clinic, the situation of the child is always assessed by a physiotherapist who specialises in paediatric physiotherapy. If necessary, they consult other specialists, such as occupational therapists.
The physiotherapists of the Motor Development Clinic also cooperate with paediatricians and other professionals caring for the child.
You can visit the Motor Development Clinic without a doctor's referral. If necessary, you will receive a written statement from the appointment.

Paediatric physiotherapy is rehabilitation provided by a physiotherapist that aims to promote the child's functional capacity and mobility.
Children may have problems with mobility for a variety of reasons, such as delayed development, an illness or injury, accident, misalignment or too much or too little movement.
It is a good idea to discuss the challenges related to a child's mobility with a specialist so that they can be addressed as early as possible if necessary.
It is advisable to visit a paediatric physiotherapist if you worry about your child's mobility and functional capacity. In some cases, it can be determined that there is no cause for concern or that it is possible to move forward with minor effort. It is also possible that aids or longer rehabilitation is needed.
Paediatric physiotherapy can be helpful in these situations:
Paediatric physiotherapists specialise in rehabilitating developing bodies and interacting with children of different ages.
The physiotherapist promotes the child's mobility and functional capacity in a manner appropriate to the child's age level with the means of play, if necessary. The exercises and treatment are always planned according to the child’s preferences, wishes and skill levels.
If necessary, the physiotherapist will provide advice on getting the child an aid and how to use it. They work closely with the child's parents and, if necessary, with other professionals who take care of the child.
Paediatric physiotherapists have completed a physiotherapist's degree and specialised in treating children. Mehiläinen's physiotherapists constantly develop their skills by participating in courses and trainings.
