Physiotherapy home care utilizes various facilitation techniques and therapeutic exercises to enhance motor performance, motor learning and motor control ability. Furthermore, our physiotherapist can help people resume independent daily activity living. For high risk infants, our physiotherapists evaluate overall developmental status, including muscle tone, primitive reflex, stimulation response, and developmental milestone. Our physio during the home visit can provide positioning, massage, and teach parents how to care for the preterm infant in a comfortable and safe environment.
