Pediatric physical therapy helps your child recover from an injury or surgery, as well as addressing specific issues such as improving their range of motion, endurance, and overall motor skills. Children with mild to severe developmental delays as a result of a Neuro Developmental Dysfunction have the potential to significantly improve functional skills and self-confidence through skilled physical therapy. Early identification and intervention of delays in development are critical to best possible skill outcomes. If your child struggles with any skills listed above, he or she will benefit from physical therapy.
