Physical Therapy

Children learn as they move about on their own either by walking, crawling, running, rolling, or playing. Some children experience difficulty in learning to move about their environment due to delay or disability in the areas of motor development, strength, balance, and/or coordination. Physical Therapy assist children move and perform functional activities that address these needs.
