MY CHILD FALLS MORE THAN OTHER CHILDREN 👉 SHOULD I BE CONCERNED?
Trips, tumbles and falls are a normal part of childhood, especially when little ones are learning to walk, run and explore.
But what if your child seems to fall much more often than other children their age?
📍 Frequent falls can sometimes be linked to difficulties with:
• Balance and coordination
• Muscle strength and postural control
• Body awareness and movement planning
• Walking and running patterns
👉 When should parents seek advice?
If your child frequently trips, struggles to keep up with other children, avoids physical activities or seems unusually unsteady, it may be worth having their movement development assessed.
👉 How can paediatric physiotherapy help?
A physiotherapist can assess your child's balance, coordination, strength and movement patterns.
Through fun, age-appropriate exercises and play, physiotherapy can help children improve their movement skills, stability and confidence.
💛 Every child develops at their own pace, but persistent difficulties with movement shouldn't be overlooked.
