Down’s Syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome 21, leading to developmental delays, low muscle tone, and varying levels of intellectual disability. With early and consistent therapy, children with Down’s Syndrome can greatly improve their physical abilities, communication, and independence. At Restart Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Centre, we provide personalized, family-centered programs that focus on each child’s unique strengths and needs. Our physiotherapists work on enhancing muscle strength, balance, and motor coordination, while our occupational therapists support fine motor skills, sensory development, and self-care activities. Through compassionate care and engaging therapy sessions, Restart helps children with Down’s Syndrome build confidence, improve functional skills, and achieve a better quality of life.
