Neuvo-Developmental Therapy (NDT)

What is Neuvo-developmental Therapy?
Neuvo-developmental therapy is concerned with improving the child's developmental milestones and helping children to learn better ways to move and balance.

Area of Focus for Assessment
Assessment is focused on determining the extent of impairment in terms of stiffness, tightness, weakness, posture and other functional limitations such as walking and sitting.


Assessments and re-assessments of such functional abilities are carried out on an ongoing basis to ensure that treatment meets the child's constantly changing needs.

Ongoing Care/ Therapy
The main aim of therapy is to provide the child with a greater variety of coordinated movement patterns. Stimulation of muscle activity through weight bearing and sensory stimulation in appropriate postures are used to give the child sufficient basis for training of further tasks.

Therapy involves the maximization of overall functional abilities, stretching tight muscles, facilitation of developmental milestones, improvement in balance and coordination as well as parental education. External aids like splints and braces are also often recommended to gain good alignment in standing, walking or other daily activities.
