Wanting to move, not having to.
An approach combining task-oriented training, equipment-based strengthening and close support for the family.
A practice for neurological physiotherapy with a training-specific focus
Our goal at TTkids is to open up a path for your child to greater independence, agency and quality of life, through specialised training methods and an individually tailored therapy plan. In doing so, we develop bespoke solutions that meet the individual needs of your child and your family.
A central goal of our therapy is motor learning: through repeated, targeted practice, we support your child in developing new movement strategies, building motor skills sustainably and transferring them safely into everyday life.
Through intensive, everyday-oriented training sessions, we foster the ability to cope independently with daily demands and to take an active part in life.
We know that physiotherapy without practical implementation in everyday life can be a great burden for your child and for you. That is why we rely on measurable, achievable goals that increase the motivation to move and make life easier for your child and those around them.
To keep children motivated, the training sessions are task-oriented and/or combined with games. Motivation, perspective and fairness come first for us. Because without muscles there is no movement, but without fun and motivation in movement there is no successful implementation in everyday life.
How we approach the first appointment
Every first appointment includes a thorough assessment, consultation and examination of your child. The aim is to discuss the possibilities and limits of your child's motor and orthopaedic development.
We use standardised measurement methods and video analyses to document progress and to make targeted decisions for the further course of therapy. These methods also help us to assess whether ongoing therapy is necessary or whether switching to interval therapy makes sense.
Motor development training
Motor learning is a central component of the therapy for children with neurological conditions in the developmental years. Starting therapy as early as possible plays a decisive role in making the best use of the developing brain's high capacity for learning and adaptation and in supporting the development of motor skills.
At the centre are the basic principles of motor learning: a high number of repetitions, the use of play and joy as motivation, and the targeted activation of specific muscle groups. Through the step-by-step learning and consolidation of movements and transitions between them, we create the foundation for acquiring everyday-relevant functions. These enable the child to act increasingly independently and to take an active part in everyday life.
Professional support
Beyond the actual therapy, we stand by families. Our advice covers the provision of orthoses and assistive devices as well as ongoing exchange with the treating doctors — we work closely with orthotists and suppliers of assistive devices and are happy to take part in fitting appointments and consultations at the social paediatric centre (SPZ).
During home visits, we get to know your home situation in order to develop training strategies that integrate seamlessly into everyday life — from the walk to the car and eating to going to the toilet. In addition, we visit day-care centres and schools to work specifically on independence there and to train the staff on site.
