Pediatric physiotherapy at Espace 71: supporting your child step by step

Bronchiolitis, infant torticollis, plagiocephaly, delayed walking, growing pains… As a parent, it can sometimes be difficult to know when to seek help. At Espace 71 in Mons, pediatric physiotherapy supports babies, children and teenagers to breathe better, move better and grow in the best possible conditions.

What is pediatric physiotherapy?

Pediatric physiotherapy addresses the needs of infants, children and teenagers for everything relating to breathing, motor development, growth-related conditions and certain neurological or orthopedic issues.

At Espace 71, the team treats babies from birth (0–2 years) as well as children and teenagers aged 2–18, with sessions specifically designed for their age and pace.

When to consult a pediatric physiotherapist?

For infants, common reasons include bronchiolitis, bronchitis, respiratory congestion, plagiocephaly (flattened head), congenital torticollis, or difficulty turning the head to one side.

For children and teenagers, pediatric physiotherapy is often indicated for delayed motor development (difficulty sitting, rolling, walking), orthopedic disorders (flat feet, scoliosis, painful knees or hips), respiratory conditions, or following a fracture, sprain or surgery.

Pediatric respiratory physiotherapy: helping your child breathe better

Babies are particularly vulnerable to respiratory infections like bronchiolitis. Pediatric respiratory physiotherapy uses gentle, adapted techniques to mobilize and clear secretions, improve ventilation and reduce respiratory fatigue.

Motor development: supporting each step gently

Espace 71's pediatric physiotherapists are trained in neuropediatrics and motor development disorders. Sessions take the form of play, gentle handling and age-appropriate stimulation.

As a parent, you are fully involved: the physiotherapist shows you how to carry, position and stimulate your child daily to continue the work between sessions.
