How many sessions will I need?

Most patients need 4–8 sessions with Paediatric physiotherapy spaced 3–7 days apart. We review response at session 3 and stop if it isn't helping.

Does Paediatric physiotherapy hurt?

Discomfort should be mild and short-lasting. Anything sharp or lasting longer than 24 hours should be reported so we can adjust intensity.

Can I combine Paediatric physiotherapy with medication or other treatments?

Yes — Paediatric physiotherapy is usually part of a multi-modal plan. Tell us about any medications, previous injections or other therapies so we can coordinate safely.

Is it safe in pregnancy or with metal implants?

Some modalities are contraindicated in pregnancy or over metal implants. We check before treating and choose a safer alternative when needed.

Do you offer Paediatric physiotherapy at home?

Can physiotherapy alone cure Paediatric physiotherapy without surgery?

In many cases yes — high-quality evidence shows that structured physiotherapy for paediatric physiotherapy can match surgical outcomes for the majority of patients, especially when started early. We give an honest, non-commercial opinion after assessment. If surgery is genuinely the better option, we will say so and coordinate pre-hab and post-op rehab.

Acute presentations may resolve in as few as 4 sessions, while chronic or post-surgical cases can need 12–20. After your first 45-minute assessment we give a written estimate so you can plan financially and mentally.

Overview

Understanding paediatric physiotherapy

Paediatric physiotherapy is a routine part of modern physiotherapy practice at Vellore Physio. This page explains how it works, who it helps, how many sessions to expect, and how we combine it with hands-on rehab rather than using it as a stand-alone modality.

Our approach

How Vellore Physio treats paediatric physiotherapy

Precise assessment

Detailed 45-minute assessment covers movement, strength, neurology, function and lifestyle — with a plan you can read.

Family-first

Caregivers are trained in every session. You leave able to continue the work at home.

Time-boxed

Progress is reviewed at 2 and 4 weeks. No open-ended packages, no drip-fed sessions.

Evidence-first

Only treatments with real evidence for your condition — no unproven modalities.

Active rehab

Every session includes movement and loading. Passive-only treatment plans aren't offered here.

Outcome-tracked

Objective measures — ROM, strength, walking speed, balance, PROMs — tracked at every review.

Care pathway

Typical recovery timeline

Phase	When	Focus
Screening	Session 1	Confirm indication, screen contraindications, take before-photos or objective measures.
Loading	Sessions 2–4	Start with conservative dosing and build response — combined with hands-on rehab.
Progression	Sessions 4–8	Escalate intensity or complexity based on your response, add task-specific practice.
Discharge	Session 8+	Transition to independent home programme with a review at 4 weeks.

Evidence

What the guidelines say

Paediatric physiotherapy has a growing evidence base in systematic reviews and meta-analyses when it is used as an adjunct to active rehabilitation. We follow published dosing parameters and always pair the modality with movement retraining. Passive treatment alone is rarely enough for a lasting result.

What helps / what doesn't
