Do you provide baby physiotherapy in Dubai?

Yes. We assess infants from a few weeks old for torticollis, plagiocephaly, low tone, early developmental concerns, and movement or positioning difficulties. Treatment is play-based, parent-supported, and coordinated with pediatric or orthopaedic care when needed.

At what age can physiotherapy begin for children?

As early as a few weeks old. Conditions like torticollis, plagiocephaly, and developmental concerns benefit from early intervention. The younger the child, the more responsive the developing nervous system is to therapeutic input.

How is pediatric physiotherapy different from early intervention?

Pediatric physiotherapy covers established developmental, orthopedic, gait, and injury-related needs across infancy, childhood, and adolescence. Our separate early intervention service is for premature or at-risk infants and subtle early concerns before a significant milestone delay is established.

Do you treat torticollis, clubfoot, DDH, and walking-pattern concerns?

Yes. We assess infant torticollis, plagiocephaly, clubfoot follow-up needs, DDH-related movement concerns, W-sitting, in-toeing, out-toeing, toe-walking, and pediatric balance or coordination concerns. When a medical or orthopaedic review is needed, we explain that clearly.

How do sessions with young children work?

Sessions are play-based: games, toys, and movement activities chosen to elicit the specific skills we are building. To your child it looks like play, and the therapeutic work is woven through it. Older children get more goal-based, structured rehabilitation.

Can parents stay in the room?

Yes, and we want you there. Parent participation helps your child feel safe and lets us teach you the specific exercises and movement patterns to continue at home between sessions.

How long does pediatric physiotherapy take?

It depends on the condition. Torticollis often resolves within weeks of starting therapy. Developmental delays usually need a longer course of weekly sessions with clear milestones we review regularly. Complex conditions like cerebral palsy benefit from ongoing, episode-of-care therapy.

How does insurance work?

We are insurance-friendly through a pay-and-claim model. You pay at the clinic, and we provide detailed invoices and medical reports so you can submit reimbursement claims directly to your insurer. We recommend calling your insurer before your visit to confirm pediatric physiotherapy coverage.

How We Approach Pediatric Physiotherapy

Developmental Assessment: A structured assessment of milestones, muscle tone, reflexes, range of motion, and postural control to map exactly where your child is and what they need next.

Play-Based Therapy: Sessions built around games, toys, and movement activities so the therapy looks like play to your child while addressing the specific skills we are building.

Orthopaedic and Gait Screening: Assessment for torticollis, clubfoot, DDH, scoliosis, in-toeing, out-toeing, W-sitting, and gait patterns that need monitoring or referral.

Family Coaching: You are part of every session. We teach you what to do at home so the gains continue between visits and become part of daily routines.

Gait and Postural Training: Targeted work on walking patterns, balance reactions, and postural control for children working through movement difficulties.

Adaptive Equipment Guidance: When a brace, orthotic, or mobility aid is appropriate, we guide selection and integration. When it is not, we will say so plainly.

What happens in pediatric physiotherapy

Pediatric physiotherapy is matched to your child's age, development, diagnosis, and family goals. Parents remain part of the process, and younger children learn through guided play rather than adult-style exercise sessions.

1
Understand movement and milestones
We assess milestone history, tone, range, posture, balance, gait, coordination, confidence, and any reports from the child's medical team.
2
Agree practical family goals
The plan focuses on the next meaningful skills for home, nursery, school, play, walking, or sport instead of a generic exercise list.
3
Practise between visits
Parents receive realistic activities to use in daily routines, with progress reviewed and the programme adjusted as the child develops.

When pediatric medical review is needed

Loss of previously achieved milestones, sudden weakness, significant pain after injury, seizures, breathing difficulty, or a rapidly changing walking pattern should be medically assessed promptly.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Mina Gamil

Across many of our services, this is what patients tell us about Dr. Mina Gamil. Patients consistently describe him as someone who genuinely cares for his patients, and for many of them, he is a doctor who educates generously.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.

1
You pay your session at the clinic, with flexible options including Tabby installments, Ziina, and standard cards.
2
We hand you the detailed invoice and the medical report your insurer needs, the same day.
3
You submit for reimbursement to your insurer. We are happy to talk you through what to send.
