Developmental concerns

- Babies or young children with delayed milestones (Concerns around sitting, rolling, crawling, standing and walking). These may be parental based concerns or those highlighted by a health visitor or other professional at a developmental assessment.
- Babies with a head preference (e.g. baby only looks to one side)
- An older child who is uncoordinated or clumsy

• Developmental Delay

Children can either be born with problems with their bones and muscles or they can develop problems as their skeletons grow. Trauma/injury is another common reason for bone/muscle problems. These problems can cause restrictions in joint movements, reduced muscle strength, pain, and altered function. Physiotherapy can help resolve all of these symptoms. Examples of orthopaedic conditions we offer specialist paediatric assessment and management for are :

• Concerns regarding the development of your child’s walking pattern
• Concerns regarding the shape of your child’s feet or legs
• General aches and pains
• Other congenital orthopaedic conditions
• Rehabilitation/preparation for planned Orthopaedic surgery
• Talipes – including congenital talipes equinovarus
• Torticollis (child holding head to the side)
