Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy
focuses on helping children with a
variety of disabilities develop coordination, balance, and strength
for functional and age appropriate gross motor skills
(sitting, crawling, stair climbing, walking, jumping). This is achieved through the
use of exercise, therapeutic activities, modalities (splinting,
electrical stimulation, kinesiotaping) and functional tasks.
Functional goals are developed with the child, parents, and
caregivers to assist the client with becoming an active
and independent participant in their environment.
The physical
therapist can also assist with evaluating and obtaining appropriate
adaptive equipment that will encourage the attainment of a child's
functional goals. A child's physical therapy program is coordinated
with other team members involved in including their primary
physician, specialists (orthopedists, neurologists), school program,
and other rehab professionals (occupational and speech therapy) to
develop a comprehensive care plan.
