What does a physiotherapy assessment involve?
A physiotherapist will complete an initial assessment that firstly involves asking questions to find out about each child and what difficulties they have with their movement and how this affects them day to day. They will then look at a child’s muscles and bones by moving the joints and also seeing how well the child can move these joints. Finally the physiotherapist will look at how your child moves and how this affects them in everyday tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, running or engaging in sports.
