Physiotherapy plays an important role in helping autistic children develop the physical skills they need for daily life. Many children on the spectrum experience low muscle tone, coordination difficulties, or delayed motor milestones — and that’s where physiotherapy makes a real difference.
A physiotherapist helps children improve:
✔ Gross motor skills — rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, running
✔ Balance & coordination — better body control during play and movement
✔ Strength & endurance — to support posture and active participation
✔ Motor planning — learning how to start, sequence, and complete movements
✔ Sensory-motor integration — helping children respond better to sensory input
✔ Confidence in movement — making physical activities enjoyable and accessible
Therapy sessions often include play-based tasks, obstacle courses, balance activities, and exercises tailored to each child’s unique needs.
✨ With early and consistent physiotherapy, children gain independence, improved participation, enhanced posture and strength, better sensory integration, and stronger foundations for learning and social interaction.
