Pediatric Physiotherapy focuses on treating children with developmental delays, cerebral palsy, and congenital disorders to improve mobility and strength. It requires specialised techniques tailored to a child's growth and neurological development.
Orthopedic Physiotherapy, on the other hand, deals with musculoskeletal injuries, fractures, post-surgical rehabilitation, and arthritis management in adults. While both involve rehabilitation, Pediatric Physiotherapy demands a deeper understanding of child-specific conditions and early intervention strategies.
