Baby Handling & Early Postnatal Education
We help prevent plagiocephaly through preventative education of mothers in the early postnatal days, with positional guidance and developmental handling suggestions, delivered via twice-daily 30-minute physiotherapy classes.
Growth & Monitoring
Growth monitoring helps us identify variations from typical growth due to poor nutrition or recent or chronic illness, and supports early intervention for children at risk.
