What Is Pediatric Exercise Physiology?
Paediatric exercise physiology is a specialised field that focuses on the unique needs of children when it comes to physical activity, function, and development. Our exercise physiologists understand and address the specific challenges and opportunities that come with childhood development.
Here’s what our paediatric services involve:
Motor Development
Paediatric exercise physiologists assist children in developing fundamental motor skills such as running, jumping, crawling, and balance. They may work with children who have delays or difficulties in reaching important motor milestones.
Gait Improvement
For children with walking abnormalities or gait issues, exercise physiologists can design exercise programs to improve walking patterns and enhance overall mobility.
Rehabilitation: In cases of injury or surgery, exercise physiologists assist with rehabilitation programs to help children regain strength, mobility, and function.
Developmental Delays
For children with developmental delays or disorders such as autism, exercise programs can be designed to improve social interaction, sensory integration, and physical development.
Assistive Device Training: If a child requires assistive devices like braces, walkers, or wheelchairs, exercise physiologists can provide guidance on their proper use and incorporate them into exercise programs.
Coordination and Balance
Children who struggle with coordination and balance may benefit from targeted exercises that enhance these skills. This is essential for motor development and preventing injuries.
Physical Fitness: Exercise physiologists help children build strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. These programs are designed to promote overall physical health and can be beneficial for all children in developmental stages.
Mental Health
Exercise plays a critical role in improving mental health. Exercise physiologists can help children with anxiety, depression, or behavioural issues by incorporating physical activity into their treatment plans.
Paediatric exercise physiologists are essential in addressing a wide range of health and development issues in children.
Our expertise helps children reach their full potential, maintain overall health, and build a strong foundation for a lifetime of physical well-being.
