Physiotherapy

This page has been automatically translated.

The physiotherapists at UKBB treat all patients, both inpatients and outpatients, from premature babies to young adults, who are impaired in their physical functioning due to illness, accident, postural abnormalities, congenital disorders or developmental delays. Physiotherapy can be the treatment of choice in various circumstances, for example

  • for children with a disability
  • after surgical interventions
  • for children with cancer
  • for children with respiratory diseases
  • for mentally ill children
  • after accidents for rehabilitation
  • for pain in the musculoskeletal system
  • if you are overweight
  • or if children suffer from rheumatism

Goals of physiotherapy

The physiotherapists carry out the treatment according to the diagnosis and the doctor's prescription. They work closely with doctors and experts from other disciplines. The aim of physiotherapy is to improve or maintain sensorimotor functions and activities and to introduce the child to the greatest possible independence. Ultimately, integration into the social environment often depends on this.
