Physical Therapy


What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy (PT) services are directed at improving a child’s ability to move, participating in daily activities, and functioning safely in their everyday routines. Physical Therapist’s have an extensive background in anatomy and physiology, neurology, and motor development. They can evaluate and assess skills such as balance, strength, range of motion, postural control, muscle tone, motor coordination, movement patterns, and endurance. Our Physical Therapists utilize a variety of treatment techniques and equipment in a safe and fun environment to achieve age appropriate functional goals.
