Our services
Paediatric Physiotherapy
Gentle, playful exercise that supports every small step your child takes.
Paediatric Physiotherapy in Tirur
Every child moves at their own pace, but some need a little extra help to sit, stand, walk or keep their balance. At Early Nest in Poongottukulam, Tirur, our paediatric physiotherapy supports each small step your child takes. We combine loving care with scientific exercise, delivered through play and fun activities, so that therapy feels like a good time rather than hard work.
Our aim is simple: to improve your child's mobility, strength, coordination and independence in everyday life. We work with children who have movement difficulties, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, muscle weakness or walking concerns such as toe walking. Because speech therapy, occupational therapy, behaviour therapy and special education are all offered under the same roof, physiotherapy goals can link with the rest of your child's plan.
Led at Early Nest by Dr. Nabeela C P (Paediatric Physiotherapist, MPT Paediatrics)
What we work on
Areas paediatric physiotherapy can help with
-
Walking and gait
Gait training helps children who walk unevenly, drag one leg, walk on their toes or have not yet started walking on their own.
-
Balance and stability
Playful activities help children stay steady on their feet, so they can feel steadier and safer moving around at home and outdoors.
-
Strength and muscle control
Gentle, structured exercises build the muscle strength children need to sit, stand, climb and move with more control and less tiredness.
-
Coordination
Games that use both sides of the body help children move their arms and legs together smoothly for running, jumping, kicking and climbing.
-
Motor milestones
We support children who are behind in rolling, sitting, crawling, standing or walking, helping them move towards the next step at their own pace.
-
Everyday independence
We focus on movements that matter in daily life, like getting up from the floor, managing steps and joining in play with other children.

How it works

Together with you, we agree on simple, meaningful goals, such as standing with support, walking more steadily or climbing steps safely.

Questions parents ask
My child is late to walk. Should I wait or get them checked?
Every child develops differently, but if your child is not walking on their own by around 15 to 18 months, or you have any worry about how they move, an assessment can help. Early support often makes the journey easier, and it gives you clear guidance either way.
What happens in a physiotherapy session?
Sessions are built around play. Your child may climb, balance, kick a ball or move on soft mats while the physiotherapist guides their movement. The activities are chosen to work on your child's own goals, such as strength, balance or walking.
Can I stay with my child during therapy?
Please ask us about this when you contact us, and we will talk through what suits your child best. Parents are an important part of the process, so we involve you, explain what your child is working on and show you simple activities to practise at home.
Does my child need a referral to start?
You can contact us directly to ask about an assessment. If your child already has reports from a doctor or another therapist, please bring them along, as they help us understand your child's needs better.
