Dr. Petra Marsico, PT
For me as a pediatric physiotherapist, the focus is on movement. But movement and mobility mean independence and should therefore be considered in the context of the child's development.
Jan Lieber, MSc OT
As an occupational therapist, I aim to help my patients achieve the greatest possible independence through meaningful everyday activities. However, I must not lose sight of the mobility of the musculoskeletal system.
