Pediatric physical therapy is learning new movement or re-learning lost movement through sensory play as exercise.

 

A child can experience movement delays or loss of motor skills due to premature birth, birth injury, genetic and health conditions or through trauma and illness.

​

If your child has difficulty with motor milestones such as walking, crawling, running,  climbing or even appears more “ clumsy” than most, a physical therapist will evaluate their abilities, strength, flexibility, coordination and create a personalized plan for play and parent interaction to help them gain movement skills.

 

A Therapist may also evaluate for the need for personalized equipment such as bracing, walkers or wheelchairs as well as specialized shoes or supports.
