Parent FAQs
Every question is a good question
The ones we hear most are answered below. Anything else — WhatsApp us. Really, anything.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book?
No referral needed — you can book directly at Nurture Physio, Gurugram. If your paediatrician did refer you, bring any notes or reports along; they help us start faster.
What ages do you treat?
Nurture Physio treats children from newborns to teenagers (0–16 years). Every therapist at the clinic works exclusively with children.
What happens at the first visit?
The first visit at Nurture Physio is a 45-minute assessment that looks like play to your child: we observe movement, test strength and milestones, listen to your concerns, and end with a clear explanation and a plan — in plain words, with time for every question.
Which languages do you speak at the clinic?
Sessions at Nurture Physio run comfortably in Hindi, English or a mix of both — whatever feels natural for you and your child. Assessments and home programs are explained in the language you prefer.
Can I stay with my child during sessions?
Always. Parents stay in the room for every session — you're part of the therapy team, and we'll teach you what to practise at home.
How many sessions will my child need?
It genuinely depends on the concern — a baby with mild torticollis may need 6–12 weeks; a child with cerebral palsy benefits from ongoing blocks. After the first assessment at Nurture Physio we'll give you an honest estimate and review it together regularly.
What's the difference between physiotherapy and occupational therapy for children?
Paediatric physiotherapy works on big, whole-body movement — strength, balance, sitting, walking and coordination. Occupational therapy (OT) works on the smaller everyday skills — handwriting, dressing, feeding — and on sensory needs like coping with noise or textures. Many children benefit from both, and at Nurture Physio the two therapists share one plan under one roof.
Speech therapy or waiting — my toddler talks very little. What should we do?
Some late talkers catch up on their own, but there's no way to know in advance which child will — and waiting costs the months when help works best. A speech assessment at Nurture Physio settles it: if all is well, you get reassurance; if support would help, gentle play-based therapy starts early, when it works best.
Is physiotherapy painful for children?
No. Paediatric physiotherapy is gentle and play-based — sessions are designed to be fun, and most children look forward to them.
What should my child wear or bring?
Comfortable clothes they can move freely in. For babies, bring a feed and a favourite toy. For school-age kids, sports clothes are perfect.
What are your fees?
Fees at Nurture Physio depend on the type and length of session, and are confirmed upfront when you book — call or WhatsApp us and we'll explain everything before your first visit. There are never surprise charges.
Where is the clinic, and do you do home visits?
Nurture Physio sees children at its purpose-built paediatric centre in Sector 46, Gurugram. The play-based environment — therapy mats, balance beams, a sensory corner and child-sized equipment — is a real part of what makes the therapy work, which is why sessions are at the clinic. If getting here is genuinely difficult, talk to us when booking and we'll do our best to help.
My child has therapy elsewhere (OT / speech). Do you coordinate?
Yes — with your permission we share goals and progress with your child's occupational therapist, speech therapist, paediatrician or specialist, so everyone pulls in the same direction.
When should I worry about late walking?
Most children walk between 11 and 15 months. If your child isn't walking by 18 months, isn't pulling to stand by 14 months, or you simply feel something's off — book a check. It's quick, gentle, and either reassures you or starts help early. Trust your instinct; you know your child best.
Still wondering about something?
No question is too small when it's about your child.
