Down Syndrome & Genetic Conditions

Physiotherapy for Down syndrome and genetic conditions at Nurture Physio in Gurgaon builds strength, protects joints and supports milestones in children who follow their own timeline. We focus on building strength in low-tone little bodies, protecting flexible joints, and celebrating every milestone, whenever it comes.

Signs parents notice

Sound familiar?

✓Low muscle tone making movement effortful
✓Delayed sitting, crawling or walking (typical with Down syndrome — and very responsive to therapy)
✓Loose, very flexible joints needing protection during movement
✓A genetic diagnosis where the care team recommends physiotherapy

One tick is enough of a reason to ask. Two or more — book a check.

Common questions

When should a baby with Down syndrome start physiotherapy?
Early — in the first months of life. Early strengthening and positioning meaningfully improve milestone timing and movement quality.
Do you treat conditions other than Down syndrome?
Yes — including spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, SMA and rarer syndromes, working alongside your child's specialists for supportive, goal-based therapy.
