Paediatric Physiotherapy works with children of varying ages from premature babies to adolescents to ensure optimal physical
  function and development. 

  At Platinum Physiotherapy the paediatric physiotherapist is concerned with movement, co-ordination and posture. They aim to 
  provide a program that the child will enjoy, while encouraging them to participate and become independent by reducing the 
  effects of physical impairment.

  Paediatric physiotherapists assess and treat children with a range of conditions including: 

  * cerebral palsy - from mild hemiplegia to severe quadriplegia
  * developmental delay - due to hypotonia with or without diagnosis and may be gross motor or global
  *syndromes and other genetic conditions
  * spina bifida and neural tube defects 
  * muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy 
  * brachial plexus lesions
  * juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) 
  * visual handicaps
  * premature babies with dystonia 
  * postural problems - torticollis, scoliosis, talipes, metatarsus adductus, or idiopathic toe walkers
  * respiratory problems such as cystic fibrosis or asthma
  * osteogenis imperfecta
  * minimal cerebral dysfunction
