Does My Baby Need Physiotherapy?

As parents, watching your baby grow and develop is an exciting journey. From the moment they are born, babies begin to reach various developmental milestones such as lifting their head, rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and eventually walking. Remember, every baby develops at their own pace. While most babies follow a typical growth pattern, there are times when a little extra support is needed to ensure they’re on the right track. That’s where Fortius Physiotherapy can help this process.
