Physiotherapy treatment will maximise the success of surgery by helping to heal, stabilise, mobilise and protect the affected area.
Your physiotherapist at Physio.co.uk will also monitor your baby’s progress by setting short and long term treatment goals.
Physiotherapy will maximise your baby’s physical potential and may include:
- A program of passive stretches to increase range of movement
- Positioning to stretch out joints and prevent stiffness and help to maintain a clear chest
- Functional activities that are fun and stimulating
- Advice about splinting and orthotics
- Manual chest techniques if appropriate to maximise lung function
- Hydrotherapy to stretch and strengthen muscles
