VO2MAX's pediatric physiotherapy service treats children from newborns through adolescence, combining developmentally appropriate assessment with parent education so therapeutic work continues at home between sessions. Therapists certified in Vojta reflex locomotion, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), and General Movements Assessment screen and treat the full range of conditions — from asymmetrical posture in infants to sports overuse injuries in teenage athletes. Sessions are play-based for younger children and include hands-on Vojta or DNS techniques for babies, progressing to active exercise and movement re-education for older children. Parents are coached in home techniques at every appointment so the child receives therapeutic input daily, not just at clinic visits.
About this treatment
Early movement development is the foundation of lifelong musculoskeletal health, and disruptions to normal developmental patterns in infancy can have cascading effects on posture, coordination, and pain patterns years later. VO2MAX's pediatric physiotherapy team approaches infant and child assessment using internationally validated methods: General Movements Assessment (GMA) for newborns and infants up to 4 months, which evaluates spontaneous movement…
For older infants and toddlers, DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) principles guide assessment and exercise selection, focusing on the developmental posture sequences that underpin healthy movement through sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Visceral techniques are used where restricted organ mobility contributes to postural asymmetry. For school-age children and teenagers, the approach shifts toward active exercise re-education,…
Conditions treated span the full pediatric range: asymmetrical psychomotor development, KISS Syndrome (upper cervical joint restriction in infants), cerebral palsy (DMO), flatfeet and toe deformities, scoliosis and postural disorders, dyspraxia, ADHD-related movement difficulties, Achilles tendinopathy in growing athletes, and post-fracture or post-surgery rehabilitation. Parent instruction is embedded into every session — therapists demonstrate home…
