Physical therapists work with children and their families to assist each child in reaching their maximal potential to function independently and promote active participation in home, school and community.

Our Physical Therapists specialize in the evaluation and treatment of children with various conditions and impairments, as well as in the adolescent and adult population. Our PT’s also work from a family-centered approach, meaning that the whole of the family is considered throughout the evaluation and treatment, and that parents are a key partner in the treatment of their child. Our PT’s have expertise in treating musculoskeletal and neuromuscular impairments in the following diagnoses, but not limited to the below list:

Developmental Delays	Torticollis	Muscular Dystrophies

Physical therapists use their expertise in evaluating the physical capabilities and limitations of your child to assist in building a plan of care with you to determine treatment, equipment needs, home exercise programs, and recommendations for community activities and adaptations.

A physical therapist can help people with challenges with gross motor delays, coordination difficulties, limits with mobility, poor endurance, muscle weakness and tightness, pain, poor posture and balance issues. Therapy is warranted when there are developmental, orthopedic, or neurological issues that impact someone’s ability to move in their home and school, or if there is pain. PT is also important after surgery or after an injury. Physical therapists often work closely with your physician and other disciplines such as occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurse practitioners, and psychologists.
