Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents with the age limit usually ranging from birth up to 18. Pediatric physiotherapy assists in early detection of health problems and uses a wide variety of modalities to treat disorders in the pediatric population.

Pediatric physiotherapists specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of congenital, developmental, neuromuscular, skeletal, or acquired disorders/diseases. Pediatric physiotherapy not only benefits children but their families as well.
