Our pediatric physiotherapy approach is playful and interactive, incorporating games to encourage children's participation, while also using facilitation techniques, postural adjustments, strengthening exercises, and stretches. We adapt programs while taking the family routine into account and encourage the independence of young children throughout their rehabilitation process.
Josée Couture, pediatric physiotherapist and mother of two, promotes a participatory approach with her patients. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the family and the entire medical team, including the pediatrician, family doctor, orthopedic surgeon, occupational therapist, pediatric podiatrist, osteopath, and other professionals involved in the child’s care.
Would you like to adopt a multidisciplinary approach for your child's pediatric physiotherapy and occupational therapy?
Josée works closely with pediatric occupational therapist Joanie Loiseau as part of a multidisciplinary approach, aimed at addressing the child’s needs holistically. Together, they provide integrated care that considers the physical, sensory, and cognitive aspects of a child's development. Their teamwork allows for a more in-depth assessment and interventions, with continuous follow-up and adjustments as the child's needs evolve. This approach is especially beneficial for children with complex issues.
Referrals from various public institutions such as CHEO and CISSSO (Early Action Program, Child Development, RessourSe, Le Copain Clinic) attest to the trust and effectiveness of their approach.
"We offer a personalized approach to help individuals achieve their health goals in prevention, rehabilitation, and performance."
