A wide range of pediatric musculoskeletal, neurological and developmental conditions, including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, torticollis, toe walking and gait disorders, flat foot, clubfoot, brachial plexus injury, developmental coordination disorder, hypotonia and hypertonia, Down syndrome, autism-related motor difficulties, muscular dystrophy, myotonic dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, peripheral neuropathy, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, pediatric stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord disorders, balance and coordination disorders, sports injuries, and fractures. Other congenital and neuromuscular conditions are considered after assessment.

Newborns, infants, toddlers, children and adolescents up to 18 years, depending on the condition.

Yes. Occupational therapy for differently-abled children is available as part of the multidisciplinary pediatric rehabilitation programme, and can also be accessed as a dedicated therapy service on its own.

Children are commonly referred by pediatricians at Ananya Kidz & Family, outside pediatricians and specialists, orthopaedic surgeons, neonatologists, developmental pediatricians, and schools or special educators. Parents can also book directly without any referral.

Dedicated Speech Therapy and Child Psychology services are joining soon to provide comprehensive developmental care under one roof. Until then, children continue to receive expert pediatric physiotherapy, and care is coordinated with trusted specialists whenever required.

Yes, parents and caregivers are encouraged to participate. They receive education, demonstrations and guidance to continue exercises safely at home.

This depends on diagnosis, age and severity. Developmental delay and torticollis typically need 2 to 3 sessions a week; cerebral palsy typically needs 2 to 5 sessions a week; other neurological and neuromuscular conditions follow an individualised programme. A minimum of 7 supervised sessions is generally recommended before reassessment.

Therapy is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, using therapy balls, balance and coordination equipment, gait training aids, sensory integration tools, functional strengthening equipment, play-based activities, mirror therapy and motor learning techniques — aiming for meaningful functional improvement while keeping it enjoyable for the child.

Yes, every child receives a personalised home exercise programme with caregiver training, covering positioning, stretching and strengthening, balance and coordination, walking and gait training, functional play, and developmental milestone exercises, reviewed and progressed at follow-up visits.

Developmental concerns may be identified as early as 3 to 6 months of age, though some become apparent later during infancy or early childhood. At Ananya Kidz & Family, developmental milestones are routinely assessed during pediatric consultations and well-child visits, and children with suspected delays are promptly referred to our pediatric rehabilitation team — timely therapy significantly improves long-term outcomes.

Treatment is individualised and may include gentle stretching exercises, positioning techniques, tummy time guidance, range of motion exercises, strengthening of the neck muscles, developmental positioning, and parent education with a home exercise programme. Post-operative rehabilitation is also provided whenever required, in coordination with the treating Orthopaedic Surgeon.

Pediatric physiotherapy primarily focuses on gross motor skills, balance and coordination, posture, strength, functional mobility and independence in daily activities. Children also benefit from Occupational Therapy, while Speech Therapy and Child Psychology are joining soon for fuller multidisciplinary care. Parents are actively involved to reinforce therapy goals at home.

Rehabilitation is provided across all GMFCS levels (I to V), from independently walking children to those requiring comprehensive mobility and positioning support. Treatment may include NDT-based techniques, stretching and strengthening, balance and gait training, functional mobility training, positioning and contracture prevention, caregiver education, and assistive device training where required, aiming to maximise independence, participation and quality of life.

Yes. Pediatric rehabilitation is tailored to support growth while preserving function, focusing on energy conservation, fatigue management, gentle strengthening, stretching to prevent contractures, balance and gait training, respiratory exercise guidance when appropriate, and maintaining participation in daily activities. Therapy is reviewed and modified regularly according to disease progression and developmental needs.

Yes, working closely with the treating Orthopaedic Surgeon whenever required. Post-casting and post-operative rehabilitation may include range of motion exercises, muscle strengthening, gait training, balance and coordination exercises, functional rehabilitation, brace compliance education, and parent counselling with a home exercise programme.

Wherever required, we communicate with parents, schools, teachers and special educators to help children participate better in school activities, including guidance on classroom ergonomics, mobility, posture and functional participation. Parents and caregivers receive counselling, education and home management strategies. We do not offer formal sibling counselling, but families are encouraged to participate actively in the child's rehabilitation journey.

Therapy is currently primarily one-to-one, allowing individualised goal-based rehabilitation and close parent involvement. Group therapy, play-based social skills sessions and peer interaction programmes may be introduced in future based on clinical needs.

A child is considered ready for discharge or reduced-frequency follow-up when therapy goals are achieved, age-appropriate functional milestones are attained, parents are confident with the home exercise programme, and further improvement can safely continue at home. Children with chronic neurological or developmental conditions may continue with periodic review rather than complete discharge.

For fever, significant respiratory infections, vomiting or general unwellness, therapy is usually postponed until recovery. For minor illnesses, attendance is decided individually based on the child's condition and the treating clinician's assessment — safety and comfort always come first.

Yes. Adolescents with long-term neurological or musculoskeletal conditions can transition smoothly to our Adult Neurological Rehabilitation or other appropriate programmes within Impulse Physiotherapy, ensuring continuity of care.

Yes, individualised and coordinated with the treating pediatrician or surgeon whenever required. Precautions may include VP shunt awareness for hydrocephalus, appropriate positioning and pressure care, skin protection, safe handling techniques, and orthotic or assistive device guidance where indicated, always modified to the child's medical condition.

Rehabilitation should begin as early as possible, often within the first few weeks of life after medical evaluation, including gentle range-of-motion exercises, positioning, sensory stimulation and parent education. Many children improve significantly with conservative therapy, while severe injuries may need referral for surgical evaluation, with rehabilitation continuing before and after surgery where indicated.

Not every child needs treatment — many young children have physiological flexible flat feet that improve naturally with growth. Physiotherapy is recommended when flat feet are associated with pain, fatigue, frequent falls, walking difficulties, poor balance or functional limitations, using strengthening, stretching, gait training and footwear or orthotic guidance where appropriate.

With a multidisciplinary approach — physiotherapists address motor planning, balance and movement-related challenges, while Occupational Therapy focuses on sensory integration and functional skills, working together to improve participation in daily activities.

As children are minors, written informed consent is obtained from a parent or legal guardian before assessment or treatment begins, with the rehabilitation plan, expected outcomes and any precautions explained in detail. Older children and adolescents are also involved in decision-making appropriate to their age and understanding.

Toe walking is common in toddlers learning to walk and often resolves naturally. Assessment is recommended if it persists beyond 2 to 3 years of age, or is associated with tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, balance problems, developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, sensory processing issues, or neurological conditions. Treatment may include stretching, strengthening, gait training, sensory integration techniques, orthotics, and referral to a Pediatrician or Pediatric Neurologist when indicated.

Yes. Some children are referred simply for appearing clumsy, falling frequently, having poor balance or delayed motor skills, or struggling with running, jumping or cycling — even before any diagnosis is established. Assessment helps determine whether this is a developmental variation or an underlying condition such as DCD, cerebral palsy, a vestibular disorder or neuromuscular disease.

No. Children heal faster and have growing bones, so rehabilitation is tailored to their age, growth plates and developmental stage, focusing on restoring pain-free movement, strength, balance, confidence and return to play while protecting the healing bone, coordinated closely with the treating Orthopaedic Surgeon.

Yes. Young athletes are managed jointly through Pediatric Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation, with special attention to growth plates, overuse injuries, safe return-to-sport protocols, movement quality, injury prevention and age-appropriate rehabilitation.

Parent education is central to every child's rehabilitation, including one-to-one caregiver training, home exercise programmes, posture and positioning advice, activity modification, and strategies for integrating therapy into daily routines. Group parent education sessions and workshops may also be conducted periodically based on demand.

The consultation and assessment fee is ₹400, adjusted against treatment and waived with a package. Sessions are ₹1,000, discounted to ₹600–800 per session depending on the condition and package.

Impulse Physiotherapy is open 8:30 AM to 8:00 PM, all days of the week.
