The physical therapists at HealthPRO Pediatrics incorporate various treatments to help children gain strength and flexibility, increase range of motion, and improve overall movement so that children can complete daily activities with success. Physical therapy focuses on helping children become independent in their environments and reach physical milestones such as rolling over, sitting, standing, walking, running, or reaching.
- Our physical therapists might work with you and your child on:
- Balance and coordination

- Assessing equipment needs
- Adaptive play

The therapist may also identify potential areas of concern and consult with other medical or school professionals about the areas of concern or the child’s service plan.
