Pediatric physical therapy is a specialized type of healthcare that addresses your child’s ability to move their body freely. While you may know it as a treatment for sports injuries or surgical rehabilitation, that is only a small part of what physical therapy handles. For children who struggle with gross motor skills like balance, coordination, strength, and flexibility, physical therapy is a life-changing treatment that can empower them to move so they can learn, play, and grow.
While every child develops at their own pace, persistent struggles could be a sign of a developmental delay or disability. Common signs that your child might need physical therapy include:

Our clinic offers several specialized pediatric physical therapy treatment options for children in our community:
Serial casting is a physical therapy technique that is used to manage and correct tight muscles that affect joint mobility. It involves applying a series of casts to a child’s limbs to gradually increase their range of motion and alignment over time.
Pediatric orthotics are custom-made devices that can be worn on various parts of the body to provide support for proper development of muscles and bones. We help children get fitted with and learn how to use orthotics in conjunction with routine physical therapy to improve their overall mobility and strength.
The Hypervibe is a tool that we use to help children build muscle strength and joint health through exercising. This is especially helpful for children with chronic conditions like cerebral palsy.
The Universal Exercise Unit (also called the monkey cage or spider cage) is a piece of equipment with a system of pulleys that we use to help children build muscle strength and increase movement.
