At West Henday Physical Therapy, we know that every child develops in their own time and in their own way. Our goal is to support children in building confidence, movement skills, and strength so they can play, learn, and grow with greater ease and joy. Through gentle, guided care, pediatric physiotherapy in Edmonton is designed to help children overcome movement challenges in a supportive and playful environment.
If you’ve ever wondered:
You’re not alone. These are common questions we hear from parents and caregivers—and we’re here to help guide you with answers that are reassuring, clear, and rooted in care.
Pediatric physiotherapy in Edmonton focuses on helping children reach movement milestones and improve their strength, coordination, and motor skills. Our team works with children from infancy through adolescence, addressing physical challenges that may affect how they move, balance, or participate in play and school activities.
We use play-based, age-appropriate methods so your child feels safe, encouraged, and motivated. Whether it’s improving balance, learning to walk, or building strength after an injury, pediatric physiotherapy supports long-term physical development in a fun and welcoming space.
We support children with a broad range of physical and developmental challenges. Whether mild or complex, each condition is met with a tailored plan that grows with your child.
Supporting infants and toddlers who are late to sit, crawl, stand, or walk by building strength and coordination through guided movement.
Helping children with muscle tightness, weakness, or poor coordination improve mobility, balance, and independence in daily life.
Addressing head-turning preferences or flat head shape with gentle manual therapy and parent-guided positioning strategies.
Improving walking patterns through stretches, strengthening, and cueing to support long-term lower limb alignment.
Postural retraining and spinal mobility techniques should be provided to support healthy growth and reduce asymmetry in movement.

Building control and coordination through fun, purposeful activities that target balance and strength.
Supporting gross motor development with a structured, compassionate plan suited to your child’s unique needs.

At West Henday Physical Therapy, we tailor each child’s care based on their age, ability, and specific movement goals. Some of the techniques and approaches we use include:
Every child is unique. That’s why our sessions are built around age-appropriate, engaging, and purposeful techniques that encourage physical development in a positive way.
Activities like obstacle courses, games, or climbing are designed to boost motor planning, strength, and confidence in movement.
Hands-on support helps babies and toddlers progress through key movement stages like tummy time, rolling, crawling, or cruising.
Focused exercises and cues help correct inefficient walking or posture patterns, often supported by mirrors, tactile feedback, or walking aids.
Carefully guided exercises address muscle tightness, weakness, or imbalances—always matched to the child’s stage and tolerance.
Includes gentle stretches, positioning education, and strategies for symmetrical head movement and skull shape development.
We use soft surfaces, balance beams, and dynamic movements to challenge the vestibular system and build inner stability.
designed to help children with sensory sensitivities or poor motor planning become more aware of their bodies and movements.
Practicing everyday skills like stair climbing, sitting to standing, or jumping, focused on making real-life tasks easier and safer.
We assess and guide appropriate use of walkers, braces, or orthotics to complement therapy goals without restricting independence.
These are especially useful for kids with respiratory conditions or anxiety as they teach breath control and body awareness during activities.
Every session includes take-home strategies, carry-over play ideas, and explicit instruction so that progress continues between visits.
Mini circuits, including crawling tunnels, therapy balls, wall squats, and climbing elements, make therapy feel like playtime.
You’re not just sitting in the waiting room—we want you in the process of executing physiotherapy for children.
You become part of the care team, helping your child grow stronger with confidence.
We understand that trusting someone with your child’s care is a big decision. That’s why our pediatric physiotherapy in Edmonton is built around clear communication, gentle guidance, and family involvement.
Whether your child is recovering from an injury, facing physical challenges, or simply needs help reaching movement milestones, pediatric physiotherapy in Edmonton can make a meaningful difference.
Let’s help your child move, play, and grow with greater ease and confidence.
