We provide physiotherapy for a number of children in groups or as individuals. While we serve all St. Joseph's children, we also offer physiotrherapy to out-patients. We evaluate and assess new patients and establish appropriate treatment plans for individual or groups of patients. Our services include chest physio, improving and maintaining joint range of motion, strengthening of weak muscles, facilitating normal movement patterns, correct positioning, hydrotherapy, exercise therapy and developmental facilitation. |
Children are re-assessed on an on-going basis to determine improvement or the need for further physiotherapy. We also assist in the education of medical staff, patients' families, and we provide internship opportunities for students entering the field. We treat Pneumonia, general chest infections and HIV related chest infections, Cystic fibrosis, TB, Spinal muscular atrophy, Duchene's muscular atrophy, Guillian Barre Syndrome, Arthrogryposis, Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA), Amputations, Traumatic brain injuries, Spinal cord injuries, CP and Developmental delay's in children bring me back. |
