Global developmental delay means two or more milestones are running behind for a child's age. Physiotherapy screens the whole motor picture, scores it on the first visit, and works on the gross-motor milestones (head control, rolling, sitting, walking), starting where the early gain is most likely.
GMFM-based scoring on the first visit, repeated every six weeks so progress is measured, not estimated. We screen the whole motor picture and start where the early gain is most likely.
Tummy time, transitions and weight-shifts, built into play the child already enjoys, so the work feels like playing rather than practice.
You leave with a two-page home plan with photos. Five minutes, three times a day, so the gains keep building between visits.
Physiotherapy works on the gross-motor side of the delay: head control, rolling, sitting, standing and walking. We score where the child is, target the milestone most likely to move next, and re-measure every six weeks.
Developmental delay often runs across more than one area. If speech or cognitive delay shows up alongside the motor picture, we coordinate with your speech-language pathologist or developmental paediatrician and share our notes. Those disciplines sit outside physiotherapy, so we refer rather than deliver them in-house.
How our care network worksWe use GMFM-based scoring on the first visit and repeat it every six weeks. Progress is measured against that score, not estimated by how the session felt.
A two-page plan with photos, built around play your child already enjoys. Five minutes, three times a day. We show you exactly how on the first visit.
Speech and cognitive delay sit outside physiotherapy. We focus on the motor side and coordinate with your speech-language pathologist or developmental paediatrician, sharing our notes so the plan lines up.
