Paediatric Gait
Physiotherapy intervention is not required for the following gait anomalies which correct themselves as development progresses
Frequent Falls
It is normal for children to fall frequently before the age of 3 years, particularly if they have been late to start walking.
If you are concerned that a child is not moving symmetrically, please liaise with the Paediatric Physiotherapy department.
Please find the attached leaflet that will help guide you if your child needs referral to a Physiotherapist or other health care specialist.
