Down syndrome
Physical therapy for children with Down syndrome in Kuwait
Down syndrome is a genetic condition that can affect muscle strength, balance, trunk control, and the development of motor skills such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Many children with Down syndrome have hypotonia ( low muscle tone ) and excessive joint flexibility, which means learning to move requires more time and structured training.
At Al-Kindy Care, we offer natural therapy and home rehabilitation for children with Down syndrome in Kuwait with an individual and safe plan that suits the child’s age and ability, and helps him acquire motor skills step by step, with practical training for parents.
