Physiotherapy for Spina Bifida

Physiotherapy for Spina Bifida

Physiotherapy for Spina Bifida is one of the most important interventions to help your child be as independent as possible.

Treatment can include:

• Teaching wheelchair skills to maximise your child's performance and to teach them transfers in and out of their wheelchair.
• Weight bearing, actively if your child has enough strength to build bone strength and anti-gravity muscles.
• Leg strengthening exercises to improve your child's walking and transfers.
• Strengthening of core muscles.
• Stretching of tight muscles to prevent secondary complications.
