Pediatric and Developmental Physical Therapy

Every child grows and develops at their own pace, however delays in gross motor development may cause concern. Children use their bodies to explore, play, and gain independence. If they can’t do these things, they may feel frustrated or unhappy.

Our practices are intended to improve self esteem and empower children to participate at home, in school, and the community one ability at a time. Our therapists will find fun and creative ways to improve your child’s gross motor skills and improve their ability to perform functional daily activities.
