The goal of physical therapy (PT) is to achieve the most typical and efficient movement and balance for a child’s body, promoting strength, coordination, functional motor skills, and more.

​

Our physical therapists (PTs & PTAs) assist children with mild to severe deficits in gross motor skills. Their treatments focus on helping patients reach greater mobility and independence by working to strengthen and increase range of motion in body parts.

​

How do I know if my child needs physical therapy?

• After an injury (from a fall, during a sporting event, etc.)

• After a surgery

• If your child frequently falls, trips/slips, or seems to be off balance

• If your child has difficulty keeping up with his/her peers on the playground or at school

• If your child has difficulty with coordinating his/her movements including tasks such as jumping jacks

• If your child chronically complains of pain in the same body part

• If your child is developmentally delayed​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
