Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy is specifically designed to improve the lives and daily function of children who suffer from a wide range of injuries and congenital conditions. The role of a pediatric therapist is to work with the child and their family to assist each child to reach their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation at home, in school and in the community.
Pediatric physical therapists evaluate and provide treatment for delays in motor skills by developing the strength and range of motion that children need to navigate throughout their environment safely and effectively.
We also provide gait analysis to determine the best footwear for your child, which can include shoe inserts and orthotics to increase their development and optimal musculoskeletal alignment as they continue to grow.
Our physical therapists are trained in assessing and treating:
-
Developmental delays
-
Low muscle tone
-
Decreased strength
-
Reduced coordination
-
Reflex integration
-
Torticollis (tightening of the neck musculature)
