PEDIATRIC PHYSIOTHERAPY

At KLR Physiotherapy College, we shape compassionate therapists who specialize in helping children (0-18 years) overcome physical challenges and reach their full potential. Whether it’s a newborn in the NICU, a child with developmental delays, or a young athlete recovering from an injury, our program teaches innovative, play-based therapies that make rehabilitation engaging and effective.

Students learn to treat conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, spinal disorders, and sports injuries while working closely with families to ensure progress extends beyond the clinic—into homes, schools, and communities. With a mix of hands-on training and evidence-based techniques, we prepare future physiotherapists to bring joy, movement, and independence to every child’s journey.

Scope of Pediatrics Physiotherapy

At KLR, we train students to help children move, grow, and thrive. Our pediatric physiotherapy program focuses on improving mobility, strength, and coordination in kids with developmental delays, injuries, or disabilities.

Through play-based therapy and family-centered care, future therapists learn to:

• Support early motor milestones (sitting, crawling, walking)

• Improve function in conditions like cerebral palsy & autism

• Rehabilitate sports injuries & post-surgical cases

• Enhance participation in daily activities

With increasing global recognition of children's rehabilitation needs, skilled pediatric physiotherapists enjoy high demand across healthcare settings, competitive salaries, and leadership opportunities in clinical, research, or educational roles. At KLR College, we equip you with the specialized skills to not only build a fulfilling career but also make lasting differences in young lives at every stage of your professional journey.
