Pediatric Physical Therapy

During a visit, our Pediatric Physical Therapists analyse the child’s flexibility, strength and walk. During this process, therapists identify the existing and potential problems. Thereafter, they create a plan as per the requirement.

Our highly skilled Pediatric physical therapists help children to improve their lives and daily function who are suffering from congenital conditions and a wide range of injuries.

We at PediGym, work rigorously with the child along with the family members to help them reach their maximum potential. They gradually learn to participate independently at home, school and society.

Kids won’t feel a thing when using the Kinesio tape

It might feel a bit itchy and uncomfortable when applying the tape; we suggest you keep it for three days for most total effects. Once the tape is removed, it does not stick to the skin. Removing the rape is easy when it’s wet; however, we tend to apply olive oil on the tap and let it soak in.
