Physical Therapy

Stronger, steadier and ready to play.

Our physical therapists help children build the balance, coordination, strength and flexibility they need to move with confidence and keep up with friends at home, at school and in the community.

How we help

Movement opens up a whole world.

Running at recess, climbing the playground ladder, riding a bike with friends: gross-motor skills let children join in the moments that matter to them. When movement is harder, children can feel left out or frustrated.

Our physical therapists turn hard work into play. We use a wide variety of play-based activities to build strength, balance and coordination, increasing your child’s independence and their ability to play alongside kids their age.

Every plan begins with an evaluation and grows with your child. We’ll share exercises and ideas you can use at home, too.

Who we see

Children of all ages and a wide range of diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, sensory processing disorder, autism, dyspraxia, Down syndrome, spina bifida, and language and developmental delays, as well as children recovering from injuries.

Commonly requested

Tools and techniques that make hard work fun

Our therapists are trained and certified in a wide range of treatment approaches. These are some of the most requested. If you’re looking for something specific, just ask!

Orthotics

We’ll evaluate whether your child would benefit from orthotic devices and, if so, help you work with your child’s doctor to obtain insurance approval.

Kinesio Tape

A rehabilitative taping technique that supports muscles and joints without limiting range of motion, and can help extend the benefits of therapy.

Biking Therapy

Biking builds balance, strength and endurance, and it uses reciprocal movement, hand-eye coordination, safety awareness and body awareness.

Durable Medical Equipment

We help children use and get the most from walkers, gait trainers and other durable medical equipment.

Balance Training

Our therapists choose from many balance-building tools, including Bosu balls, React boards and Airex pads.

Treadmill Training

A body-awareness activity that helps children improve strength, balance, endurance and overall coordination.

Common areas of focus

A closer look at what we work on

Pediatric orthopedics

We’re glad to serve children with a range of orthopedic concerns. Therapist-guided exercises and activities improve strength, range of motion and endurance.

Strength training

Therapist-guided exercises and activities, like body-weight movements, resistance bands and light weights, build muscular strength and endurance.

Biking therapy

Many children start on push bikes around 18 months, move to a tricycle around age 3, and ride a two-wheeler around age 5. Biking therapy pinpoints the skills your child still needs to ride independently, and builds them.

Heavy work

Heavy work, like pushing, pulling, hanging or carrying something heavy, gives the body calming input to muscles and joints. It can support regulation, attention, sensory processing and body awareness.
