Outpatient Physical Therapy Services

Our dedicated team of Pediatric Physical Therapists focuses on helping children and adolescents reach their full potential.

Our therapists are specially trained in working with children who face developmental delays, neuromuscular conditions, sports injuries and many other problems that affect a child’s ability to develop and play. We examine each child thoroughly and create a plan to promote movement, reduce pain, restore function and prevent disability. We address balance, coordination, strength, flexibility and endurance to promote recreation and participation for healthy and active lifestyles. Our goal is to teach your child and family how to prevent or manage a condition to achieve long-term health and wellness benefits.
