What is pediatric physical therapy?

Where physical therapy happens
Natural Environment
Therapy can take place right in your child’s home, where they feel most comfortable and confident. Working in familiar surroundings allows therapy to fit naturally into daily routines and real-life activities.
Community Settings
Services may also be provided in the community: at your child’s daycare while you’re at work, a playground, a ball field during a sibling’s practice, or even during your child’s own activities. This flexibility helps therapy meet your family where life happens.
Private Therapy Space
Private therapy space is available for families who prefer or need it. Please submit an inquiry to learn more.
