PHYSICAL THERAPY for children involves total body
physical rehabilitation due to injury, disease, or gross
motor disorder. The goal of physical therapy is to restore
and/or progress motor skills and mobility to achieve the
highest potential outcomes for each individual child.
Physical therapists specifically address muscle strength and
coordination, joint stability and mobility, skeletal growth
and alignment, neuro-developmental skills, motor planning,
balance and coordination, walking and mobility training.
