Our experienced physical therapists evaluate and treat children of all ages, including premature infants, full term babies, toddlers and pre-school and school aged children. PT treats a wide range of diagnosis, disabilities, congenital disorders and injuries. Our physical therapists complete a thorough evaluation, that includes clinical observations, a comprehensive look at medical history along with standardized testing. Treatment begins after a individualized plan is created for your child. Using evidenced based interventions, PT uses a variety of treatments to build strength, improve quality of movement, coordination and balance that a child needs to complete daily skills in school, home and sports.
