PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY
TheraPhysical provides intensive and specialized services to children in an outpatient setting. The child benefits from an integrated and comprehensive rehabilitation program in a clinical setting during the day, combined with the family’s emotional support at home.
The program also addresses the child’s needs at school. The team of rehabilitation specialists will customize the treatment plan based on the child’s lifestyle, educational and personal needs, helping to create results that are life-changing.

HOW DO WE TREAT DYSFUNCTION?
We meet with each child and their parent/s or guardian initially to get a thorough knowledge of history and current problems. We then do a physical examination, looking at the muscles of the abdomen, legs, back and others we feel applicable to the specific problem. This exam is with an adult present and over the clothing. Finally, we consult with the referring physician to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Treatment is one-on-one, hands on, with the child dressed and lasts 45–55 minutes—in comfortable, private treatment rooms.
We work with each child and family member very closely and modify our treatment according to what works best for each individual. We incorporate a holistic approach, looking at diet, sleep patterns, and other behavioral issues that could be contributing to the current problem.
