MORE ABOUT
Physical Therapy
At Pediatric Therapy Services, our physical therapists are dedicated to helping children from birth through adolescence achieve their full potential. Whether it’s restoring function after an injury, helping a child reach motor milestones, or managing a congenital condition, our goal is to improve your child’s mobility, strength, and independence.
Physical therapists focus on the evaluation and treatment of children with health problems resulting from injury, disease, or congenital conditions, with an emphasis on movement dysfunction.
Movement is the foundation for higher learning. The efficiency of a child's strength and mobility allows a child to maximize their independence. Gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, walking, running, jumping, climbing, skipping, bike riding, and ball skills are the foundation of gross motor development. Our expert pediatric therapists are also skilled in orthotics and equipment management.
