What is pediatric Physiotherapy

Pediatric Physiotherapy deals with the evaluation and rehabilitation of disorders that occur in neonatal children as a teenage age.
Pediatric physiotherapy is differentiated from the classical physiotherapy of adults, as it is addressed to the child, where it is an ever evolving organism, which in contrast to the adult has great brain plasticity and dynamics. This determines the different approach and therapeutic treatment that the child must have than the adult.
