Are You Worried About Your Child's Physical Development?

Is your child delayed in rolling over, sitting, crawling, or walking?
Do they have unusually stiff muscles (spasticity) or “floppy” limbs (hypotonia)?
Has your child been diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy or Down Syndrome?
Do they struggle with balance, coordination, or frequent falls while playing?

Treating a child is not just “adult therapy made smaller.” Children’s brains and bodies are still developing. Standard exercises do not work for them. They need specialized Pediatric Physiotherapy that encourages neuroplasticity (brain-body connection) through fun, engaging, and highly structured movement therapies that feel like playtime, not a medical procedure.

Compassionate Expertise You Can Trust with Your Child

Working with special needs children requires immense patience, clinical pediatric knowledge, and a gentle heart.

Dr. Faizan Hassan brings over 15 years of specialized clinical experience to pediatric rehabilitation. Backed by elite international certifications in neuro-muscular therapy, he deeply understands the biomechanics of a growing child.

He utilizes the Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) approach, carefully guiding the child’s motor responses to improve posture and movement. More importantly, Dr. Faizan believes in a “Family-Centered Approach” actively involving and training parents so that the therapy continues safely at home.

What Pediatric Conditions Do We Treat?

We provide evidence-based, nurturing rehabilitation for a wide range of congenital and developmental conditions:

Healing Through Play: Our Pediatric Process

We ensure your child feels completely safe, happy, and unthreatened during their therapy.
Milestone & Motor Assessment: We observe how your child plays, moves, and reacts to identify exactly which physical milestones need support.
Play-Based Therapy: We disguise the clinical exercises as fun activities! Reaching for toys, bouncing on therapy balls, and crawling through tunnels help build strength without the child realizing they are doing “work.”
Spasticity & Tone Management: For children with tight muscles (like in CP), we use gentle manual stretching and positioning techniques to prevent joint deformities and improve flexibility.
Parent Empowerment: We teach you safe handling, carrying techniques, and easy home exercises to integrate therapy into your child’s daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Therapy

Will the physiotherapy sessions hurt my child?

No, absolutely not. Our pediatric approach is highly gentle. If a child is crying or in pain, they will resist the movement, which defeats the purpose. We use play and distraction to ensure the stretching and strengthening are completely pain-free and enjoyable.

When should I seek physiotherapy for my baby?

Early intervention is critical. If you notice your baby is not holding their head up by 4 months, not sitting independently by 8-9 months, or not walking by 15-18 months, it is highly recommended to book a developmental assessment.

Can physiotherapy cure Cerebral Palsy (CP)?

Cerebral Palsy is a permanent neurological condition, so it cannot be "cured." However, physiotherapy is the absolute most important treatment for CP. It prevents severe muscle contractures, improves mobility, and helps the child achieve the highest possible level of independence.

Do you treat older children and teenagers with special needs?

Yes. We adapt our therapy approach according to the child’s age. For older children and teens, we focus on strength, balance, posture correction, and functional independence in their daily activities.

Give Your Child the Best Start in Life.

Early intervention changes everything. Don’t “wait and see” if your child will outgrow their movement difficulties. Partner with an expert pediatric physiotherapist today to unlock their true potential.
