Pediatric Conditions We Treat in Pokhara
Every child develops differently. Our pediatric physiotherapists work with the child at their level — using play, movement and structured activity to build the motor skills, strength and coordination they need.
Cerebral Palsy (CP)
NDT (Neurodevelopmental Technique) based physiotherapy to improve movement quality, posture, balance and functional independence. Programs are tailored to the child’s GMFCS level and family goals.
Delayed Motor Milestones
Assessment and therapy for children who are late to sit, crawl or walk. We identify whether delays are motor, neurological or developmental and design a targeted intervention program.
Torticollis & Plagiocephaly
Gentle stretching and movement exercises for congenital or acquired torticollis. Early intervention produces the best outcomes and avoids long-term postural problems.
Down Syndrome
Strength, balance and motor coordination therapy adapted to the child’s learning style and pace. We celebrate every milestone with the family.
Autism Spectrum & Sensory Motor Concerns
Sensory-aware physiotherapy for children with autism-spectrum motor difficulties — poor balance, coordination, body awareness or low muscle tone.
Pediatric Sports & Orthopaedic Injuries
Fracture rehabilitation, growth plate injuries, Osgood-Schlatter and other pediatric orthopaedic conditions — treated with age-appropriate, load-managed rehabilitation.
Why Choose Abinth for Pediatric Physiotherapy?
Specialist Pediatric Therapists
Our pediatric physiotherapists use NDT-based assessment and handling — the internationally recognised standard for children with neurological and developmental conditions.
Play-Based Therapy
Children learn through play. Every session is designed so the child is engaged and motivated — not sitting still on a treatment table.
Full Parent Coaching
Parents are part of every session. We teach you the exercises and handling techniques so therapy continues at home between visits.
Written Goal Plans
Every child has a written goal plan with realistic, measurable milestones reviewed regularly with the family.
Home Visit Option
For children who cannot travel easily, our pediatric therapists provide home-visit sessions across Pokhara.
Our Pediatric Physiotherapy Approach
Detailed Assessment
Standardized developmental and neurological assessment to understand the child’s current abilities and identify the key areas to target.
Family Goal Setting
We set goals together with the family — practical, meaningful milestones like sitting independently, taking first steps or climbing stairs.
Play-Based Therapy Sessions
Engaging, structured sessions that build strength, balance and motor coordination through activity-based therapy the child actually enjoys.
Home Program & Parent Training
Parents leave every session with clear home exercises and handling guidance. The child’s progress depends heavily on daily practice at home.
Progress Reviews
Regular re-assessment using standardized tools confirms real progress and guides the next phase of the program.
Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can a child start physiotherapy?
From birth. Torticollis and some neurological conditions are treated in newborns. Developmental concerns can be addressed as soon as they are identified — the earlier, the better for neuroplasticity.
How long are pediatric physiotherapy sessions?
Sessions are typically 45–60 minutes. The first assessment is 60–75 minutes. We pace the session according to the child’s attention and energy.
How often should my child attend?
This depends on the condition and goals. Most children attend 1–3 times per week. We recommend a frequency at your first assessment and review it as the child progresses.
Can parents stay during the session?
Yes — parents are encouraged to stay. We actively involve you in the session and teach you the exercises and handling so you can continue at home.
Do you offer home visit physiotherapy for children?
Yes. For children who cannot travel easily, we provide home-visit pediatric physiotherapy across Pokhara — same therapist, same program, at your home.
Families Who Chose Abinth Hospital
My daughter’s cerebral palsy therapy has been life-changing. The team includes us at every step. We finally feel supported — not just handed exercises and sent home.
Our son was late to walk at 18 months. The pediatric physiotherapist assessed him thoroughly, gave us a clear plan, and he took his first steps at 22 months. We are so grateful.
My baby had torticollis at birth. Within eight sessions the tightness was resolved and she was turning her head fully. The therapist was wonderful with her.

Why Early Intervention Matters in Children
A child’s nervous system is at its most adaptable in the early years, which is precisely why timely pediatric physiotherapy can change long-term outcomes. Delays in motor milestones, tone abnormalities, or conditions such as cerebral palsy and torticollis respond far better when addressed early, while developing pathways are still highly plastic. Waiting to “see if the child grows out of it” can mean missing the most valuable window.
Early intervention is not about pushing a child hard — it is about giving the developing nervous system the right input through play, positioning and graded challenge so that typical movement patterns are encouraged before atypical ones become habitual.
Therapy Through Play, With Parents as Partners
Children do not rehabilitate like adults. Effective pediatric therapy is disguised as play — reaching, rolling, crawling and balancing built into activities a child wants to do. Parents are central: we coach you to weave the right movements into daily routines at home, because consistent, low-stress repetition in a familiar setting drives development far more than clinic time alone.
What to Expect and How Progress Is Tracked
We assess using developmental milestones and standardized tools so progress is measured, not guessed. Plans are reviewed regularly and explained in plain language — what we are working on, why, and what you can do at home. Some conditions need short courses; others benefit from longer, periodically reviewed support as the child grows.
Costs and Support for Families
We keep pediatric care affordable and offer package pricing for longer developmental programmes. We work with most major insurers and will explain coverage clearly. For families who find clinic visits difficult, a home-visit option is available.
Frequently Asked Questions
My child is slightly behind on milestones — should I wait?
Early assessment is always better than waiting. If everything is developing normally we will reassure you; if not, early therapy makes a measurable difference.
Will therapy upset or stress my child?
No. Sessions are play-based and child-led. We work at the child’s pace and involve you throughout so the child feels safe.
How long will my child need physiotherapy?
It depends on the condition. Some need a short course; developmental conditions may need longer, periodically reviewed support as the child grows.
What conditions do you treat in children?
Delayed milestones, cerebral palsy, torticollis, low or high tone, coordination difficulties and post-injury or post-surgical rehabilitation, among others.
Can I do the exercises at home?
Yes — and you should. We coach parents to build the right movements into everyday play, which is where most progress happens.

More Questions Answered
Which centre offers physiotherapy for children with cerebral palsy in Pokhara?
A&B International Hospital provides play-based pediatric physiotherapy with parent coaching and milestone tracking for cerebral palsy and developmental conditions.
My child has delayed milestones — should I wait?
Early assessment is always better. If development is normal we reassure you; if not, early therapy makes a measurable difference.
Is therapy stressful for the child?
No — sessions are play-based, child-led and involve the parent throughout.
Supporting Your Child’s Development at Home
The clinic session is only a small part of a child’s week, which is why what happens at home matters most. We coach parents to weave the right movements into ordinary play and daily routines — tummy time, reaching games, supported sitting, floor play — so that development is encouraged continuously, not just during therapy. Consistent, low-stress repetition in a familiar setting with a trusted parent drives far more progress than clinic time alone, and we make sure you always know exactly what to do and why.
How We Measure Progress
Progress in children is tracked against developmental milestones and standardised assessments, not impressions. We explain in plain language what we are working towards, review the plan at regular intervals, and adjust it as your child grows and changes. Honest, measured feedback protects both your child’s progress and your confidence as a parent.
Further Questions
How will I know therapy is working?
We track milestones and standardised measures and review them with you regularly — progress is shown, not just described.
Can siblings or grandparents be involved?
Yes — anyone who supports the child can be coached so helpful play continues consistently at home.
What if my child resists the exercises?
We adapt — therapy is play-led and child-paced. Resistance usually means the activity needs reshaping, which we do together.
