Pediatric Physiotherapy in Pointe-Claire & West Island

At Kiddo Active, pediatric physiotherapy is built around how kids learn: play, repetition, and confidence. We support babies, children, and teens with practical, family-friendly plans.

Care is delivered at our Pointe-Claire clinic and coordinated closely with Kiddo’s OT and SLP teams for whole-child progress.

What is Pediatric Physiotherapy?

Pediatric physiotherapy focuses on motor development, strength, alignment, balance, coordination, and functional mobility. Sessions look like play, but every activity targets meaningful goals for home, school, and sport.

Our Pointe-Claire clinic proudly serves West Island cities including Kirkland, Dorval, Beaconsfield, Dollard-des-Ormeaux (DDO), Pierrefonds, and Lachine. We also welcome families from nearby off-island communities such as Vaudreuil-Dorion, L’Île-Perrot, and Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.

Developmental Red Flags

Consider an assessment if your child:

Prefers one head position or side; noticeable head flattening
Keeps hands persistently fisted or shows early hand preference
Feels very “stiff” or very “floppy,” arches the back or points the feet
Struggles with tummy time in the first month
Not rolling by 7 months; not sitting without support at 8 months
Not crawling at 8 months; not standing at 12 months; not walking at 16 months
Not running or jumping by 2 years; frequent falls or trouble keeping up
In-toeing or “knock-knees” concerns

Your First Step

Start with an intake questionnaire and a baseline discussion with our team to understand strengths, concerns, and priorities. From there, we schedule a comprehensive evaluation and map out next steps that fit your routines at home and school.

Assessment & Evaluation

Play-based pediatric physiotherapy assessment in clinic (about 1 hour; may be split over two sessions if helpful).
Standardized measures and observation for posture, tone, range of motion, balance, coordination, and functional mobility.
Clear written report with meaningful, measurable goals and a treatment plan.
Follow-up discussion with caregivers to explain results and next steps.

Home program, made doable: progress happens between sessions. We design a simple plan that fits your family’s routine and evolves as your child progresses.

FAQ

Do I need a referral? No. We can coordinate with your pediatrician or other providers as needed.
How many visits will my child need? It depends on age, goals and assessment findings. Many families notice change within a few visits. We outline a plan and timeline up front.
Do you collaborate with schools and daycares? Yes. We provide practical strategies to support participation in class, gym and sports.
Is pediatric physiotherapy covered by RAMQ or insurance? Private physiotherapy is not typically covered by RAMQ. Many private insurance plans offer partial coverage. We provide detailed receipts for reimbursement.
How soon will we see progress? Small gains often appear in the first few weeks with consistent practice between sessions. Larger goals take time and teamwork.
