Types of Pediatric Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy techniques may include, but are not limited to:
Gross Motor Development
Our pediatric physical therapists help children develop the strength, coordination, balance, and motor skills needed for everyday activities. Therapy may focus on skills such as sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, jumping, and navigating different environments.
​
Balance & Coordination
Pediatric therapy can help children who have difficulty with balance, coordination, or body awareness. Through fun, age-appropriate activities and exercises, our therapists work to improve stability, motor planning, and coordination to help children participate more confidently in play and daily activities.
​
Strength & Mobility
Our physical therapists use individualized exercises and therapeutic activities to help children improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. Treatment is designed around each child’s specific needs and can help make everyday movements and activities easier and more comfortable.
Is Pediatric Therapy Safe?
Pediatric therapy is very safe! One of the greatest aspects of pediatric physical therapy is that it is non-invasive and designed specifically around each child’s individual needs and abilities. Our physical therapists use gentle, age-appropriate exercises and activities to help children improve their strength, balance, coordination, mobility, and overall physical development.
Our clinicians are highly trained medical professionals who understand the unique needs and limitations of growing children. They carefully monitor each child’s progress and adjust treatment as needed to ensure therapy remains safe, comfortable, and engaging. Many children enjoy therapy because sessions incorporate fun activities and exercises that feel more like play than traditional treatment.
Who will get pediatric physical therapy?
Our pediatric physical therapists are highly trained in evaluating and treating children with movement and developmental challenges. Pediatric physical therapy may benefit children who have difficulty with strength, balance, coordination, mobility, or reaching age-appropriate developmental milestones. Children may receive therapy following an injury, surgery, or illness, as well as those experiencing developmental delays or conditions that affect their ability to move and participate in everyday activities.
Your child’s treatment plan will be tailored to their individual needs and goals. Therapy may include activities focused on improving balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, and mobility while helping your child develop the skills needed for greater independence. Our therapists use fun, age-appropriate exercises and activities to make therapy engaging while supporting your child’s physical development.
