Competently Accompanying Young Patients Therapeutically

Physiotherapists will find extensive and profound medical and therapeutic knowledge for their responsible and challenging role in pediatrics. Additionally, they will receive guidance on how to professionally interact with young patients as well as address the questions, concerns, and needs of their parents.
