Our physical therapy is delivered by licensed pediatric physical therapists, with active, play-based sessions built around the motor goals that matter most for your child's daily life.
What therapy looks like
Therapy begins with an evaluation of how your child moves — strength, balance, coordination, and the gross-motor milestones expected for their age. From rolling and crawling to running, climbing, and keeping up on the playground, we look at what's getting in the way.
Your child then works toward clear motor goals through active, play-based sessions, and you'll get a plan plus home strategies so progress continues between visits.
