Our pediatric physical therapy department concentrates on optimizing functional skills and proper gross motor development. Our therapists implement a whole body approach from initial evaluation through therapeutic discharge. Thorough home exercise programs are created and provided to children and their families for generalization of skills and carryover for optimal results.
Our staff is skilled in evaluating and treating those with a variety of diagnoses that may impact a child’s development of gross motor skills, such as:
- Developmental milestones (rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, etc.)
- Overall strength, endurance, and flexibility
- Gross motor coordination and balance
- Ball skills (eye-hand coordination)
- Motor planning (gross motor tasks, game-like activity, negotiating the environment)
