Our dedicated center for specialized pediatric physical therapy helps infants, children, and adolescents reach their full potential. We make therapy an engaging, positive, and playful experience.
Infants and children of all different abilities can benefit from our pediatric therapies. Some children’s therapy needs will be short term as in the case of sport injuries.
Other children may require therapy over a longer period of time, as in the case of developmental delay and neurological involvement.
An evaluation is set up for each child during a one-hour block of time per discipline. The evaluation will consist of assessing the child’s skills and interviewing parents/caretakers for pertinent information.
The actual evaluation is different for each child depending on the presenting problems. Various assessment tools are used.
Results of the evaluation and treatment plan are discussed with the family and other team members when applicable.
We require a referral from your child’s doctor to begin therapy. Once we receive the referral, we will contact you to schedule an evaluation, where a therapist will assess your child’s strengths, weaknesses and specific areas of concern.
Based on the findings, we will develop an individualized treatment plan to support your child’s unique needs and help them reach their full potential.
Parents and caretakers are encouraged to actively participate in therapy and to learn therapy techniques for use in the home.
We offer intensive physical and occupational therapy for children with developmental delays, injuries and neurological conditions using the Universal Exercise Unit (“Spider Cage”).
Unique to our area, our therapists use this innovative device to help children improve their balance, strength and mobility in a safe and controlled environment, helping them reach new milestones in their therapy journey.
