Fine motor and coordination physiotherapy builds the small-muscle control children use every day: pencil grip, scissors, buttons, tying laces. It is for children aged 3 to 14 whose hand skills lag their peers, with the work built into play the child already enjoys.
Dr. Hyma watches the child grip, cut, button and reach during play, and asks what is hard at home and at school. The goal is to find which step breaks down, not to score the child.
Targets are set around the tasks that matter to the family, then practised through games and activities the child already likes. Hand strength, two-handed tasks and visual-motor work are woven in so it feels like play, not homework.
You leave with a few simple things to do between visits, using objects you already have at home. Short and regular beats long and rare for building hand skills.
Progress is checked against the everyday tasks we started with, and the plan is adjusted as the child grows. Some children need longer; we will tell you which on a visit, not on the website.
No. This is physiotherapy focused on the strength and coordination behind hand skills, delivered by Dr. Hyma (BPT). If a child also needs an occupational therapist or special educator, we will say so and coordinate with the one you choose, sharing notes so everyone is working toward the same goals.
Not always. An unusual grip only matters if it tires the hand, slows the child down, or hurts. On the first visit we look at how the grip holds up across a real task, not how it looks for a moment.
Hand skills build with regular practice, so progress is gradual rather than sudden. We track it against the specific tasks you came in for, and tell you what is realistic for your child on a visit, not on the website.
