Physical Therapy for Children

Physical therapy is for the movement your child needs to explore the environment and gain the strength and coordination needed throughout life. Sitting, creeping and rolling are just the beginning. Standing, walking, running, and transitioning in and out of floor positions are the movements that take your child where he wants to go. Therapist's knowledge and skills are applied in facilitating muscle development. When developmental disability, illness, or injury slows your child down, the physical therapist can employ special skills and techniques and help choose unique equipment to assist in position and movement.
