Pediatric Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapy assists children (ages 0-21 years) who have movement difficulties that limit their ability to perform their daily activities, promotes wellness, and assists in early detection of health problems. Physical therapists assess and treat problems associated with strength, range of motion, endurance, gross motor functioning, and pain using a child centered focus. 
Physical therapists work closely with each family to develop an individualized program to meet each child and family’s needs including an emphasis on parent education to assist parents in helping children reach their maximum potential. Some of the diagnoses that may require physical therapy include: cerebral palsy, developmental delay, torticollis, genetic disorders, birth defects, spina bifida, muscle diseases, orthopedic disabilities, cardiopulmonary conditions, and sports injuries.
