Pediatric Physical Therapy

Pediatric physical therapy addresses motor development delays, coordination challenges, muscle weakness, and movement impairments in children from infancy through adolescence. Pediatric physical therapists evaluate gross motor skills, balance, strength, and functional movement, then provide developmentally appropriate exercises and play-based activities that support each child’s physical growth and independence. Treatment is tailored to the child’s age, developmental stage, and specific diagnosis to build the motor foundation needed for daily activity and participation.

What to Expect at Pediatric Physical Therapy

When you arrive for your child’s evaluation, our therapists may use several methods to gain a clear understanding of your concerns. They may ask you to complete questionnaires about your child’s medical history and describe your daily routines. Most evaluations include a formal test depending on your child’s age. These tests provide scores that will be used to determine specific areas in which your child may benefit from intervention.

Our clinics provide the unique benefit of multidisciplinary intervention. This means that your child has a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language pathologists to consult and collaborate with your family on a plan of care to ensure the best possible outcome.
