How are we DIFFERENT ??
The approach at Ottawa Infant Physio is personalized and holistic.
SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST STRETCHING! IT'S A WHOLE BODY APPROACH.
We believe babies deserve to feel good in their bodies, and we work with you to help determine the reasons behind a baby's struggles, including issues related to feeding and head shape. Families are an integral part of helping their infants reach their developmental goals.
We always spend time explaining the "why" behind what we do, as families deserve to understand the reasoning for all of our physiotherapy recommendations. We also find that providing assessment and treatment in YOUR home allows us to use your space, your toys, and your overall environment to help your baby without needing to creatively adapt what was learned in a clinic setting.
We love teaching and want you, the parents, to feel empowered with tools to assist your baby after we leave. We strive to help decrease parental worries, concerns, and stress.
Each assessment is an hour, and each follow-up visit is 45 minutes. We strive very hard to have minimal to no waitlist. You do not require a physician’s referral. We believe anyone with questions about their child’s development should be able to get support.
We know that working with babies is not a "one size fits all" approach. We regularly blend a variety of assessment and treatment techniques to best suit the needs of each baby and family.
We come to your home and will provide:
