When your child is experiencing physical challenges—whether it’s a delay in reaching milestones, unusual movement patterns, or difficulty keeping up with peers—it’s natural to want answers. At Florikids Physiotherapy, everything begins with one essential step: a thorough assessment and diagnosis.

This isn’t just a quick check-in or observation. It’s a comprehensive process designed to gather detailed information about your child’s condition, movement, strengths, and challenges. The aim is to understand not only what your child is struggling with but why—so we can create a treatment plan that is both effective and meaningful.

What Does the Assessment Involve?

During the first session, I’ll take time to:

• Understand your child’s medical history and developmental background
• Observe their posture, movement, coordination, and strength
• Identify any difficulties with motor skills or functional activities
• Listen to your concerns and goals as a parent or caregiver

This is done in a relaxed, child-friendly way—often through guided play and simple activities that allow me to see how your child moves and interacts in real time.

Why It’s So Important

A clear diagnosis or understanding of the problem allows us to:

• Target therapy sessions more effectively
• Track progress with realistic goals
• Choose the right techniques, exercises, or equipment
• Provide meaningful advice for home and daily routines

Every child is unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t work. By building a complete picture from the very start, we ensure that every part of the physiotherapy journey is tailored to your child’s specific needs.

Moving Forward with Confidence

After the assessment, you’ll receive a plan that outlines the next steps—whether that’s ongoing sessions, a home exercise program, or further referrals if needed. I’ll also be here to answer questions, explain everything clearly, and support you throughout your child’s progress.

At Florikids, we don’t just treat symptoms—we treat children. And it all starts with understanding them fully.
