Its aim is to improve motor skills, **correct any disorders** , support development and help children with various health problems achieve the greatest possible **independence and quality of life** . Paediatric physiotherapy requires **an individual approach** , because every child develops at their own pace and has **unique needs** , so the therapist adapts exercises and methods to the child's **needs** and age in order to achieve **the best possible results.** It not only improves physical function but also supports the child's emotional and **social development.** ### Who is it for? - supporting children with psychomotor delay, e.g. difficulties with sitting, walking or crawling - therapy for premature babies, who may need motor and developmental stimulation - rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy or other neurological disorders - work on improving muscle tone (hypotonia or hypertonia) - correcting postural problems such as scoliosis, round back or flat feet - treating joint problems, e.g. hip dysplasia - rehabilitation after fractures, sprains or other injuries - supporting recovery after orthopaedic surgery ## Book a visit 5.0 · 491 reviews Google - [**Free consultation** 15 min](https://fizjostyl.pl/en/free-consultation/#terminy) - Mon–Fri 7:00–21:00, Sat 7:00–14:00 · book online 24/7 - Wolska 2a (Prokocim) and Wicherkiewicza 23/K (Kliny) [Book online](https://rejestracja.medfile.pl/register/catalog/?uuid=9b800421-44aa-593e-f584-e55b0b74cba1&language=en) [881 505 588](tel:+48881505588) Who will help you ## Therapists [Meet the whole team →](https://fizjostyl.pl/en/team/) ### [Marta Konieczna](https://fizjostyl.pl/en/marta-konieczna/) paediatric physiotherapist Physiotherapy for children and infants, specialising in newborns.

From birth – we see children from the newborn period up to school age. Babies up to 1 year old are seen by Marta Konieczna as part of [neurodevelopmental therapy for infants](https://fizjostyl.pl/en/infant-neurodevelopmental-therapy/) . ### When does a child need physiotherapy? It is worth coming in, for example, if your child has difficulty sitting, crawling or walking, has low or increased muscle tone, postural problems (e.g. scoliosis, flat feet), or after injuries and orthopaedic surgery. If you are not sure, book a free 15-minute consultation. ### What methods do you use in paediatric physiotherapy? We choose exercises and methods individually for each child's age and needs, because every child develops at their own pace. With babies, therapy takes the form of play – for example, we encourage rolling over and pushing up on the hands. ### Do you see children with disabilities? Yes. Children with disabilities who can get to the clinic are seen at Kliny by paediatric physiotherapist Marta Konieczna (step-free entrance).

No. You can book a visit without a referral – just choose a time online or give us a call. ### Do you accept patients through the NFZ (Poland's public health fund)? No, we only see patients privately. Prices are listed in our [price list](https://fizjostyl.pl/en/prices/) . ### Where are you based? We have two clinics in Krakow: [ul.
