Paediatric physiotherapy involves the treatment of both acute and chronic conditions occurring in infancy that disturb the development of motor skills and limit the potential for functional independence in adulthood. Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialty field of physiotherapy that requires specific knowledge, training and interest.

This sub-field represents a clinical science in a constant process of ongoing change and development. Scientific discoveries yielded by recent studies in neuroscience and the study of movement have recently brought radical changes and modern updates to the practise of physiotherapy. This non-stop development means that professionals must be ready and willing to constantly enhance their skills and incorporate new findings into their practice.

Knowledge in psychomotor development, movement education and control and adaptations to growth are some of the aspects that help paediatric physiotherapists design effective therapeutic strategies and help the child’s motor skills reach their full potential.

The Master's Degree program expands upon the training therapists already possess and is designed to provide specialised training to physiotherapists dedicated to working in paediatrics, infant development, early assessment, special education and orthopaedic paediatrics.

Acquire the necessary knowledge to provide children singular, precise care. The involvement of paediatric physiotherapists on an individual, case-by-case basis benefits both children and their families. If we take into account all the subsystems that can influence a child's growth, their level of independence will be a decisive factor in their daily learning. Therefore any action that endeavours to improve a child's functional movement, posture and mobility will also have a significant effect on their development and adult life.
