Pediatric Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy
If an injury or health condition affects how your child moves or functions, you want an experienced team you can trust. We help kids move forward, more independently, with greater confidence.
Moving forward together.
You don’t want anything to hold your child back, and we help them succeed. Our talented therapists give your child personal attention, support, and encouragement to improve how they function mentally and physically. We focus on your child’s overall well-being, including the emotional aspects of an illness or injury. We’re here to support their success.
Setting kids up for success.
Although we help kids improve function, we focus on their strengths — our goal is to empower them. Our team of pediatric rehabilitation doctors, neuropsychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, athletic trainers, and other pediatric rehab professionals work together to set realistic goals and create a plan that lets your child succeed.
We put together a care team based on your child’s needs. But all children will work with one or both types of therapists, who have slightly different roles:
- Physical therapists help improve physical movement, reduce pain, restore muscular function and flexibility, and prevent mobility problems before they occur.
- Occupational therapists help children enhance daily living skills and function, including perceptual abilities, coordination, self-care, and social skills.
