Physical Therapy 

Physical Therapy (PT) is geared for all children to work on the foundational skills of their gross motor development. The therapy integrates balance, coordination, gait, strength (core, legs, arms), motor planning, postural control and alignment, range of motion, mobility and safety. Therefore, our physical therapist looks at how each child moves to incorporate all the necessary components of gross motor development. Goals are often focused on increasing independent movement, improving safe and efficient mobility, and overall large movement play skills.

 

Employing the principles of the DIR® Floortime model, physical therapy is individualized for each child’s unique strengths and challenges. The therapist meets the child at their developmental level, while supporting independent movement and positive relationships to help the child move safely and efficiently in their world. The therapist will work with you to create a home exercise program that fits the needs of your family and child.
