What is Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy assists in early
detection of health problems and uses a wide variety of modalities to
treat disorders in the pediatric population. These therapists are
specialized in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infants,
children, and adolescents with a variety of congenital, developmental,
neuromuscular, skeletal, or acquired disorders/diseases. Treatments
focus on improving gross and fine motor skills, balance and
coordination, strength and endurance as well as cognitive and sensory
processing/integration. Children with developmental delays, cerebral
palsy, spina bifida, and torticollis are a few of the patients treated
by pediatric physical therapists.
