What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy is different than regular physical therapy. At our San Gabriel Valley physical therapy office, therapists are experts when it comes to handling children. Physical therapy enables children to be able to restore and develop useful skills. Some of these skills include motor development, mobility, as well as independence. Physical therapy, especially among children, allows them to function in various environments in an independent way.

Does Your Child Need Physical Therapy?

If your child experiences one or any of the following, you may want to look into physical therapy:

  • Difficulty walking and/or running
  • Not performing regular movements at their age
  • Difficulty with motions that require getting their body off the ground ( jumping, hopping, skipping, etc.)
  • Difficulty with coordination
  • Preference to only using one side of their body

What Are Some Treatment Techniques?

Children will work on some of the following alongside their pediatric physical therapist:

  • Neuromuscular rehabilitation
  • Coordination exercises
  • Balance exercises
  • Neurodevelopmental treatment
  • Joint mobilization

Our San Gabriel Valley physical therapy office focuses on helping children engage and be able to perform their daily tasks with no problems.
