What We Treat
Some of the problems that our physical therapy can help with are issues related to congenital conditions, musculoskeletal issues, chronic conditions, recovery from injuries or surgeries, developmental delays and genetic disorders. We evaluate and treat every individual with love and a tailored plan that includes goals that are meaningful for them. Our approach is centered on making our children feel loved and empowered to develop their skills while having fun and feeling part of a family that is rooting for their success.
We recognize that different individuals have different situations and are in different stages of their life. Therefore, our uniquely designed plans aim to help our children to be more independent and active in their surroundings according to their current developmental milestones and needs.
Why Is Physical Therapy Important?
The conditions that we have mentioned, if not treated promptly, can get more difficult to improve, they can produce pain and prevent a child from functioning as they should. A child’s job can be playing, crawling, walking or even playing sports. Pediatric physical therapy is what allows a child to work on overcoming challenges and developing the skills necessary to doing their appropriate job at their current age.
Pediatric physical therapy can reduce pain and stress, significantly improve a child’s mobility and muscle strength, reduce inflammation and allow a child to function properly. It is a way of having fun, belonging to a family and developing beneficial skills while being motivated and encouraged by others.\
Crucial skills such as adequately jumping or running cannot be taken for granted since this can make kids fall or even restrain themselves from those activities because they don't feel confident. Endurance, strength, posture, and balance are some of the skills that ensure that kids can function safely and react with reflexes to accidents and protect themselves. These skills must be taught from an early age to build the children's confidence and abilities.
Who Needs Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Children that are having a difficult time with daily routine activities due to conditions that prevent them from moving appropriately are who will benefit the most from pediatric physical therapy. It is a fun and creative way to help them improve their current situation.
For adults, it is easier to work on exercises to strengthen specific muscles, but for children it is not that simple as they do not understand they are in therapy. It is crucial that children having these difficulties go through pediatric physical therapy at an early age, where they are going to participate in fun activities specifically designed to improve their current condition.
If your child has signs of poor motor coordination, weakness, imbalances, genetic disorders or is simply not achieving the expected developmental milestones for their age, a visit to our office will be beneficial for an assessment of their situation. Examples of the milestones are sitting from 6 to 12 months of age or walking at 2 years old. We are happy to receive children in our family, give ourselves to serve them and analyze the best plan of action to help them.
