Physiotherapy
1) What can the Elijah Center's Physiotherapy sessions offer to your child?
Physiotherapy can help achieve physical developmental milestones.
In order for a child to develop gross motor and fine motor skills, first they need strength, balance and co-ordination.
At the Elijah Centre we are mixing physiotherapy with sensorial education, respecting the PROSCIG© methodology.

2) Physiotherapy Assessment
During a 30-40 minutes assessment we are observing your child`s posture and muscle tone in different positions: standing, sitting and lying (prone and supine). According to your child`s age we assess physical developmental milestones, balance, co-ordination and fine motor development (including handwriting). Based on the results of the assessment we are planning long term goals we will work for, using short term goals.

3) One-to-One Physiotherapy Sessions
Children can have up to two sessions weekly (depending on their needs), sessions planned individually for every child using the long term goals we agree on after the assessment. Short term goals are planned biweekly and contains active and passive exercises (increasing intensity gradually), different activities and games which are fun and therapeutical for the children at the same time.
