What are the common reasons for developmental problems?

Summary
A person with developmental problems may have delay with physical growth, motor development, cognitive/intellectual development, social/emotional development and language. They may take longer to learn things in comparison to a ‘normal’ individual. Physiotherapy can help those people with developmental problems that are secondary to their illness. At Physio.co.uk, our physiotherapists will find the best possible way for each person to get the most out of your treatment session whilst taking into consideration any developmental problems you may have.
