Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy focused on assessing, treating, and rehabilitating infants, children, and adolescents who have movement difficulties, developmental delays, neurological conditions, orthopaedic problems, or respiratory disorders. Children are not simply small adults — their growing bodies, developing nervous systems, and unique psychological needs require a distinct, age-appropriate, and play-based therapeutic approach that is fundamentally different from adult physiotherapy.
At Dr. Chandolkar's physiotherapy clinic in Nanded, we provide compassionate, child-friendly paediatric physiotherapy in a warm and supportive environment. Our expert team works closely with children, their parents, and caregivers to set meaningful functional goals, deliver engaging and effective treatment, and empower families with the knowledge and home programmes needed to support their child's development and recovery every day.
At Dr. Chandolkar's, every child's physiotherapy programme begins with a comprehensive paediatric assessment covering developmental milestones, neurological function, muscle tone, joint mobility, posture, balance, coordination, gait, and functional movement abilities. Treatment is always delivered in an engaging, play-based manner to keep children motivated, comfortable, and actively participating in their own recovery.
Developmental delay rehabilitation
Structured therapeutic programmes to help infants and young children achieve delayed motor milestones — including head control, rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking — through targeted neurodevelopmental stimulation, sensory integration activities, and progressive movement facilitation exercises tailored to each child's developmental stage.
Cerebral palsy physiotherapy and management
Specialised long-term physiotherapy management for children with cerebral palsy using evidence-based approaches including Bobath neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT), muscle tone management, postural control training, gait rehabilitation, and functional movement retraining to maximise each child's independence and quality of life.
Neurological rehabilitation for children
Expert physiotherapy for children with neurological conditions including acquired brain injury, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, and brachial plexus injuries — focusing on restoring motor function, improving strength and coordination, and maximising participation in daily activities and school life.
Orthopaedic and musculoskeletal physiotherapy
Assessment and treatment of paediatric orthopaedic conditions including flat feet, in-toeing and out-toeing gait, Sever's disease, Osgood-Schlatter disease, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, postural scoliosis, and sports injuries in young athletes — providing age-appropriate rehabilitation to support healthy musculoskeletal development.
Paediatric respiratory physiotherapy
Specialised chest physiotherapy and airway clearance techniques for children with respiratory conditions including asthma, cystic fibrosis, recurrent chest infections, and post-pneumonia complications — reflecting Dr. Chandolkar's advanced postgraduate expertise in cardiopulmonary physiotherapy applied specifically to the paediatric population.
Parent and caregiver education and home programme training
Comprehensive training and guidance for parents and caregivers on handling techniques, positioning strategies, developmental play activities, and daily home exercise programmes — empowering families to actively support their child's physiotherapy goals between clinic sessions and throughout daily routines.
Paediatric physiotherapy at Dr. Chandolkar's clinic in Nanded can begin from as early as the newborn period. Early intervention is particularly important for premature infants, babies with neurological conditions, and children showing signs of developmental delay — as the young and highly plastic nervous system responds most powerfully to therapeutic input in the earliest years of life. There is no minimum age for paediatric physiotherapy assessment.
Signs that your child may benefit from paediatric physiotherapy include delayed motor milestones such as late sitting, crawling, or walking, difficulty with balance and coordination, toe walking, abnormal posture or spinal curvature, limping or asymmetrical movement, muscle weakness or low muscle tone, frequent falls, limited joint mobility, pain during physical activity, and breathing difficulties. If you have any concerns about your child's physical development or movement, early assessment at Dr. Chandolkar's in Nanded is strongly recommended.
Paediatric physiotherapy differs from adult physiotherapy in several important ways. Treatment for children is delivered through play-based activities, games, and age-appropriate exercises that keep the child engaged and motivated. Goals are centred around developmental milestones, school participation, and daily play activities rather than adult functional outcomes. At Dr. Chandolkar's in Nanded, our paediatric approach also places a strong emphasis on family involvement and caregiver education, recognising that parents are the most important partners in their child's rehabilitation.
The duration of paediatric physiotherapy varies significantly depending on the nature and complexity of the child's condition. Acute conditions such as sports injuries and post-fracture rehabilitation in children may resolve within 4 to 8 weeks. Ongoing conditions such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, and developmental delays typically require long-term physiotherapy management with regular review and programme progression. Dr. Chandolkar's team will set clear functional goals and provide a realistic treatment plan tailored to your child's specific needs.
Yes. Paediatric physiotherapy home visits are available at Dr. Chandolkar's for children who benefit from therapy delivered within their natural home and play environment — particularly useful for young children with cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and neurological conditions where home-based handling and positioning guidance is an essential part of the treatment programme.
