Ming explains what physical therapists do: help kids with movement and muscle use. Children might need PT after birth injuries, for low or high muscle tone, spasticity, or coordination problems like ataxia or apraxia.
So how about physical therapy? Physical therapy is when anything big movements, physio or physical therapy, depending where we're living. Everything to do with big movements and using muscles should be with the physiotherapy. So it's pretty simple and pretty easy to understand because a layman like us, we also use physiotherapy whenever we sprain an ankle we're not able to do have a big enough range of motion, we find a physiotherapy, right? So it's the same with children, so why would children need it? Some children have brain injuries when they're born, right? Some children have low muscle tone when they're born, some of them have high muscle tone, some of them are spastic, some of them are flaccid. There's loads of different things that are going on. Some of them, they don't have good coordination. They may be ataxtic, apraxic. Those are huge words. You don't even know it if you don't know it anyways. These things are what you're going to see. The three T's as we say, S T O T P T.
