Pediatric Physiotherapy at Hexa Physio La Prairie

Par Alexane Poirier

At Hexa Physio, we’ve always made it a point of honour to offer quality care tailored to the needs of all our patients. That’s why we’re delighted to announce a new service: pediatric physiotherapy at the La Prairie clinic! This new service is specially designed to meet the needs of toddlers and to support families in the development and well-being of their children.

Our expert in pediatric physiotherapy

We are pleased to introduce Alexane Poirier, our physiotherapist who has developed expertise in pediatrics and practices at Hexa Physio La Prairie. Alexane is trained to treat a variety of children’s conditions, and her gentle, attentive approach makes her a valuable ally for parents wanting the best for their children.

Here’s an overview of the conditions we’ll be treating:

  • Torticollis: This common disorder in infants causes the head to tilt to one side. In addition to demonstrating some exercises you can do at home, Alexane will use specific techniques to relax tense muscles and restore a neutral position.
  • Plagiocephaly: This condition is characterized by asymmetrical flattening of the infant’s head. We offer treatments to help reshape the head and prevent asymmetries
  • Developmental coordination disorder (DCD): For children who have difficulty coordinating their movements, our approach aims to develop strategies to improve coordination and self-confidence.
  • Obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (PBOPP): These injuries can occur during childbirth and affect movement and sensation in the arm. We work to improve function and promote optimal recovery.
  • Mild motor development disorders (0-2 ans): Delays in early motor development can be a sign of underlying conditions. Our team assesses and proposes interventions to encourage normal development.

Complementary services in pediatric osteopathy

In addition to pediatric physiotherapy, we continue to offer pediatric osteopathy. While our focus is on physiotherapy, this complementary care can be beneficial in treating a variety of disorders in children.

Treatments include:

  • Torticollis and Plagiocephaly: Gentle approaches to help correct and prevent these common disorders.
  • Breastfeeding-related complications: We work with mothers and babies to facilitate breastfeeding and improve suckling.
  • Digestive disorders: Our techniques are designed to help babies with their digestive comfort in the event of reflux, colic or other discomforts.
  • Recurring infections : Osteopathy can support the body’s overall balance and contribute to the well-being of infants prone to frequent ailments such as ear infections, bronchitis or sinusitis.

Hexa Physio wants to be your partner and offer you the support you need in your child’s development. Whether it’s for a specific goal or to answer your questions, we’re here for you!
