Children’s physical needs differ significantly from those of adults, requiring age-specific therapeutic strategies. This book focuses on physiotherapy principles tailored to infants, toddlers, and school-age children with developmental or neuromuscular challenges. It emphasizes assessment techniques, growth milestones, and play-based therapy. Designed with clarity and care, it serves as a foundational resource for students and entry-level practitioners in pediatric care. The content supports holistic, child-centered approaches to rehabilitation.
