Pediatric Physical Therapy
We’re Glad to be Here to Support your Child’s Motor Needs
Physical therapists utilize their specific knowledge base of anatomy, neurology, and physiology to observe and assess how a child moves from one position to another as well as how strength, balance, and coordination affect movement patterns. Specifically for children, a detailed understanding of normal motor development and gross motor milestones is essential. These motor skills are the foundations of moving successfully in the world. Additionally, play-based therapeutic interventions motivate children to engage in physically challenging activities.
Functional Skills Addressed by Physical Therapists
Physical therapists can address a variety of issues, including the most common developmental delays, such as with gross motor skill development (rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking), decreased strength, decreased balance, and overall poor coordination in a child. Physical therapists are also trained to address many other areas, including working with children who may have a neurological or genetic disorder, or children who have abnormal or poor posture, abnormal muscle tone influencing gross motor skills, awkward walking, jumping, or running patterns, and toe walkers.
