Pediatric Physiotherapy in Pointe-Claire serving the entire West Island
Babies and children learn through movement. When birth difficulties, health problems, or certain conditions affect development, pediatric physiotherapy helps kids build age-appropriate gross motor skills from newborn to 18. Our Énergie Active Physio team uses play-based, evidence-informed techniques to support infant and child development across Pointe-Claire and the West Island.
Partner clinics, side-by-side: Kiddo Active Therapy for pediatric care and Énergie Active Physio for adults. Our pediatric physiotherapists work across both so your family gets seamless care.
Ground-level access at Plaza Pointe-Claire with free parking.

What pediatric physiotherapy can do for your child
Pediatric physiotherapy helps infants, children, and teens build strong, age-appropriate movement skills. Our West Island pediatric physiotherapists assess gross motor development, coordination, strength, balance and participation in play, school and sport. Whether your child needs support meeting milestones, managing a diagnosed condition, or improving coordination, we create individualized treatment plans that feel like play to your child—because children learn best through movement and exploration.
Our approach to pediatric physiotherapy in Pointe-Claire
Every child develops at their own pace. Our pediatric physiotherapy team uses play-based, evidence-informed techniques to assess gross motor development, muscle tone, balance, coordination and functional movement patterns. We create individualized treatment plans that feel like play to your child—because children learn best through movement and exploration.
Whether your infant needs torticollis treatment and tummy time strategies, your toddler requires support with delayed walking or motor planning, or your school-age child needs help with coordination and sport skills, our therapists adapt activities to your child's age, abilities and interests. We work closely with families to create achievable home programs that fit into daily routines, ensuring progress continues between clinic visits.
Common conditions we treat
Common reasons families seek pediatric physiotherapy in Pointe-Claire include congenital or positional torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome), brachial plexus injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, gross motor delays, autism spectrum, developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and post-surgery rehabilitation.
Developmental red flags to watch for:
- Keeps head turned or tilted to one side; head flattening
- Hands persistently fisted or early hand preference
- Very stiff or very floppy; frequent arching or toe pointing
- Doesn't tolerate tummy time within the first month
- Not rolling by 7 months; not sitting or crawling at 8 months
- Not standing at 12 months; not walking at 16 months
- Not running or jumping by 2 years; frequent falls
- Leg or foot alignment concerns such as in-toeing or knock-knees
When to seek pediatric physiotherapy
Parents often ask: "Is this normal, or should I be concerned?" Trust your instincts. If your child isn't meeting motor milestones on time, seems weaker or stiffer than peers, tires easily during play, avoids certain movements, or you've noticed persistent head tilting or asymmetry, a pediatric physiotherapy assessment can provide clarity and peace of mind.
Early intervention makes a significant difference in child development. Many motor challenges respond extremely well when addressed early, and assessment brings reassurance even when development is on track. Our West Island pediatric physiotherapists can identify subtle issues, provide strategies for home, and collaborate with your pediatrician or other specialists as needed.

What to expect at your child's first visit
The initial pediatric physiotherapy assessment is about one hour with play-based observation and standardized tests when appropriate. Sometimes assessment occurs over two sessions depending on your child's needs. Your therapist will discuss your child's health history, current abilities, and your goals, then create a clear treatment plan with realistic timelines.
Insurance coverage for pediatric physiotherapy varies by plan. We provide detailed receipts for all services. Learn more about insurance coverage or explore our full range of physiotherapy services.
