My Approach
Hi, I'm Fernanda, a physiotherapist specializing in working with children facing neurological challenges. My approach to motor physiotherapy in this context is deeply personalized and child-focused.
To me, each child is unique, which is why I firmly believe in an individualized approach to each patient I see. Understanding that neurological disorders can affect children's mobility, posture and motor function in many diverse and complex ways. Therefore, my first step is always to perform a comprehensive assessment to understand each child's specific needs.
Based on this assessment, we develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include a variety of therapeutic techniques and approaches. Use strengthening, stretching and mobility exercises, tailored to each child's capabilities and limitations, to help them improve their motor function and achieve their movement goals. Additionally, we incorporate sensory and cognitive stimulation techniques to promote overall child development. child.
I believe that physiotherapy is not just limited to the physical body, but can also play an important role in children's cognitive, emotional and social development. I work closely with parents and carers, providing guidance and support so they can continue supporting progress of their children at home.
I believe that a holistic approach, which involves not only the child, but also their family and community, is critical to the long-term success of treatment. My greatest reward as a physical therapist is seeing the progress and growth of the children I serve.
Every small achievement is cause for celebration, and I am committed to helping every child reach their full potential, no matter what challenges they face. If you are looking for support for your child with a neurological condition, I am here to help. Together, we can work to overcome obstacles, achieve goals, and create a bright future for your child.
