How Physical Therapy Can Help Your Child!
Pediatric physical therapists work with children of all ages to develop their gross motor skills to allow them to better explore their environment and participate in typical childhood activities. We work with children and their families to help each child reach their maximal potential to function independently and participate in their community.
As movement experts, pediatric physical therapists collaborate with families to design a treatment plan that best meets each child’s needs.
Services often address the following in their plan of care:
- developmental activities
- strengthening
- endurance
- balance
- coordination
- tone management
- posture
- positioning
- orthotics, prosthetics, and motor learning
