PHYSIO FOR BABIES

IMG_9523.jpg

When to see a Physio for your baby:

​

  • You are concerned that your babies physical development may be delayed (e.g., not moving into sitting by 9 months, not pulling to stand by 12 months, not walking by 18 months)

  • Your baby is not tolerating tummy time well

  • Your baby feels stiff or floppy to handle

  • Your baby is taking a long time to develop control of their head

  • Your baby has a preference to turn their head in one direction or there is a flat spot on the back of their head

  • You notice a difference between your babies left and right side (e.g., a noticeable preference to use one hand)

  • Your baby was born prematurely 

  • Your baby has a diagnosed condition and/or NDIS funding

​

Many of the Physiotherapists in our team are trained in infant neurodevelopmental assessments including the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE), and Prechtl's General Movements Assessment. You can read more about these assessments by clicking here.
