Physical development plays a crucial role in a child's ability to participate in everyday activities, from playing with friends to performing tasks at school. Pediatric physical therapy focuses on improving strength, coordination, and mobility to help children achieve their developmental milestones and lead active lives.
What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy is a specialized form of care that helps children who face challenges with movement, balance, and coordination. Whether due to developmental delays, injuries, or medical conditions, therapy provides targeted exercises and interventions to support a child's physical growth and independence.
