Is Physiotherapy Required If A Child Is Unable To Walk Even After 2years?

My 15month old baby girl can't walk, she shuffles on her bum and can get onto her knees but can't pull herself up onto her feet or walk along holding onto furniture. She can stand if I hold her hands but only for a few seconds as it hurts her. When she is standing she cannot move her feet, she doesn't know how to. Any advice how I can help her and does she need physiotherapy or anything? Many thanks

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your concern, this is the delayed type of activity or development fairly common among the toddler and that does not required any physiotherapy this is coming around,, some times it takes little more time, and nothing to worry about this, parents personal care is the only good therapy for child, take care of your kid, and have nice day.
