What is Intensive Therapy?
Right Support at the Right Time for Your Child
As a mother, you observe your child’s development every day. Sometimes a small smile, sometimes a tiny step… But what if some steps are delayed? What if doubt creeps into your heart? This is exactly where the concept of “Intensive Therapy” comes into play.

What Does Intensive Therapy Mean?
Intensive Therapy or Intensive Therapy in Turkish, is a therapy method performed with frequent, planned, and individualized sessions for a certain period to support the child’s motor and neurological development.
This therapy provides effective support for children who have:
- Developmental delays,
- Neurological problems such as cerebral palsy,
- Muscle tone or movement coordination problems
Why “Intensive”?
Traditional therapies are usually applied 1-2 times a week. However, research shows that therapies performed at more intensive intervals create stronger and more lasting effects on the nervous system.
Just as a flower comes to life when you give it regular water every day, children also develop with regular and intensive attention.
Every Child is Different, So Should the Therapy
A mother’s intuition is rarely wrong. If you think your child is behind their peers in some areas, it takes courage to address this. Intensive Therapy is shaped according to the child’s individual needs. This is one of the most important features that distinguishes it from other therapy methods.
In these programs applied by expert physiotherapists:
- Therapy duration is usually planned as 5 days a week, 1-2 hours a day.
- The program can last 3 to 6 weeks.
- Both motor skills and sensory needs are supported in each session.
For Mothers: Strengthen with Your Knowledge, Not Your Fears
Let’s admit it: even the word “intensive” can sometimes be scary. Especially the thought of whether a tiny body can handle therapy so frequently might bother you. But know that these therapies exist not to push the child’s limits, but to reveal their potential.
Remember, if you are strong, your child becomes even stronger. During the Intensive Therapy process, the mother’s support, morale, and patience multiply the effect of therapy.
What Awaits You During Therapy?
- In the first step, the child’s development status is evaluated in detail.
- Experts set goals together with you: like “being able to stand in balance after 3 weeks”.
- With daily therapies, these goals are reached with small but sure steps.
- Special exercise recommendations are provided to the family to contribute to the process at home as well.
