Montebello clinic overviewWho pediatric physical therapy may help
From infancy through adolescence, children may need extra support to develop or recover movement skills. Pediatric therapy brings the child, family, and physical therapist together around a plan suited to that child’s abilities and needs.
Conditions and recovery pediatric PT may support
Physical therapy may support children with developmental, physical, or injury-related needs. Care may support children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, or autism. It may also be appropriate during recovery from trauma, a sports-related injury, or surgery. Treatment is individualized and based on each child’s evaluation and goals.
What treatment may include
Plans are based on each child’s needs and may include exercises, balance training, motor-skill activities, and guidance with adaptive equipment when relevant. The goal is to support functional independence and confidence in everyday tasks.
