Physiotherapy at Play Partners Clare Valley

Play Partners physiotherapists work with families to assist children and young adults with disability to develop movement skills. These include but are not limited to crawling, walking, running, jumping, climbing, and balancing.

 

Physiotherapists are movement specialists and address the issues that contribute to difficulties learning gross motor skills. Common areas addressed include muscle tone, muscle weakness, muscle imbalance, motor planning and coordination difficulties.

 

Physiotherapists also consider posture, muscle strength and endurance and how these may be impacting on a person's ability to participate in their day-to-day activities.

 

There is evidence that improved gross motor skill has a positive impact on executive functioning for people with autism spectrum disorder.
