Profile of the Pediatric Physical Therapist at AMS Centro Médico del Ejercicio

Discovering the goals of physiotherapy in childhood

At AMS Centro Médico del Ejercicio, we have a team of highly qualified professionals, led by Mercedes Morales Gómez, head of the early care area. Mercedes ensures that each child receives comprehensive and personalized care, tailored to their specific needs, to promote their development and well-being.

Physiotherapy has a specialty dedicated to the care of children: pediatric physiotherapy. This professional, known as Pediatric Physiotherapist, is a specialist in child development, acquired through specific training in this field.

The pediatric physiotherapist is responsible for the treatment of any condition suffered during childhood that may alter motor development, either causing delays or conditioning the quality of motor development, and limiting the child's potential to be independent in the future. Depending on the case, the child may receive treatment during a specific period of his or her development or, in other cases, throughout his or her life.

The pediatric physical therapist understands how the child develops at the psychomotor level, how he learns, how he gains control of his own body and what adaptations he will experience as he grows. They must be aware of advances in neuroscience and movement science, and take into account the existing scientific evidence when planning their treatments. This means that you must follow the guidelines of clinical reasoning when organizing assessment, treatment and re-evaluation of outcomes.

In addition, the pediatric physical therapist recognizes that the child and his or her family are the driving force of the treatment. He/she works together with them and takes into account the child's different environments, applying the family-centered intervention method.

The objectives of physiotherapy in childhood are:

• To help the child reach his or her maximum potential for independence.
• Encourage participation in activities of daily living at home, school and in the community.
• Support the family with shared goals.
• Collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner with other professionals in the field of early care (pediatrician, speech therapist, psychologist).
