About this treatment
Paediatric rehabilitation at CPM Pavla Koláře draws on the DNS philosophical foundation — which is itself rooted in developmental kinesiology, the movement patterns that emerge in the first year of life — making it particularly well-equipped for assessing and treating children whose developmental movement patterns have not followed the expected trajectory.
For infants and very young children, the main focus is psychomotor development monitoring: identifying asymmetries, movement restrictions, or developmental delays early enough for gentle intervention before compensatory patterns become entrenched. Parents are taught infant handling techniques that support symmetrical development and appropriate loading of emerging motor skills — an intervention that can prevent years of downstream postural and…
For older children, the programme addresses the full range of paediatric musculoskeletal concerns: scoliosis (both idiopathic and secondary), flat feet (pes planus) and other paediatric foot conditions, postural problems arising from sedentary school environments or heavy backpack loads, and the specific sports injuries that are common in young athletes — growth plate issues, Osgood-Schlatter, Sever's disease.
