Paula Weissman

Physiotherapist and doctoral student in physiotherapy at Ariel University, with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy (BPT) from Ariel University and a Master’s degree (M.Sc) in Occupational Therapy from Haifa University, both with honors.
With many years of experience working in child development settings, treating infants, children, and adolescents with a variety of motor and developmental challenges, including developmental delays, muscle weakness, coordination, posture and gait, sensory and functional regulation, torticollis, feeding difficulties, and monitoring premature infants. I specialize in pelvic floor rehabilitation using a research-based approach, with an emphasis on assessing gastrointestinal function and sphincter control in children using pocket-sized ultrasound.
I lecture in the undergraduate program in physical therapy and occupational therapy at Ariel University, and in my clinic I combine current scientific knowledge with tools from various approaches in developmental therapy, with the aim of promoting the child’s functioning and providing families with practical tools to guide and support the developmental process.
