Orthopedics and medical care

Pediatric orthopedic evaluation and treatment.

Pediatric orthopedic therapy

Evaluation of alignment, strength and gait. Care for flat feet, scoliosis and other conditions.

Pediatric orthopedic therapy is a specialized approach within physiotherapy focused on assessing, treating and improving children's musculoskeletal conditions. Its main goal is to support functional motor development, prevent deformities and optimize mobility and physical wellbeing.

Main goals of pediatric orthopedic therapy

  • Improve postural alignment.
  • Support joint mobility and help prevent stiffness.
  • Strengthen weak muscle groups.
  • Correct compensatory movement patterns.
  • Reduce pain or musculoskeletal discomfort.
  • Promote harmonious, safe motor development.
  • Support and optimize the use of orthoses or orthopedic devices.

What we can do in pediatric orthopedic therapy

1. Personalized treatment planning

We design a personalized plan based on:

  • Muscle strength
  • Range of motion
  • Alignment of spine, hips, legs and feet
  • Gait and movement patterns
  • Body symmetry
  • Flexibility and muscle tone

2. Mobilization and stretching techniques

Used to:

  • Improve joint mobility
  • Reduce stiffness
  • Prevent or correct muscle shortening
  • Support functional postures

3. Targeted muscle strengthening

Through guided exercises to:

  • Improve trunk stability
  • Increase strength in the limbs
  • Encourage more efficient movement patterns
  • Reduce negative compensations

4. Gait training and motor patterns

Therapy may include:

  • Gait pattern correction
  • Balance and coordination exercises
  • Work on appropriate use of foot, knee and hip
  • Adaptation when orthoses are needed

Therapy can address conditions such as:

  • Flat feet or pronated foot
  • Mild scoliosis
  • Genu valgum or genu varum
  • Tibial or femoral torsion
  • Hip dysplasia
  • After-effects of fractures
  • Muscular torticollis
  • Postural disorders

Orthopedic therapy helps your child move better, grow stronger, improve posture and prevent deformities. We work on muscles, joints, gait and body alignment so development is safer and more functional.

In-hospital physiotherapy visit

Physiotherapy in the hospital: assessment, mobilization and support during the stay.

The in-hospital physiotherapy visit is a clinical intervention provided inside the hospital to assess, mobilize and support the functional recovery of inpatients—helping ensure stability, safety and progress throughout their stay.

Care is focused on preserving function, preventing complications and preparing the patient (and family) for the next stage of care.

Our objectives include:

  • Maintain or improve the patient’s mobility.
  • Help prevent complications related to immobility.
  • Support functional recovery after a medical, surgical or neurological condition.
  • Facilitate a safe transition home or to another rehabilitation unit.
  • Educate family and staff on postural care and safe mobilization.

In-hospital physiotherapy helps keep patients safe during their stay, reduces complications and supports the earliest possible recovery of motor skills. We also teach you how to care for them and move them correctly.
