If your child needs physical or occupational therapy, contact our office today to learn more about our pediatric services.
Physical Therapy
From birth, children are eager to play, explore and learn. They interact with their surroundings through rolling, crawling, walking, running, and jumping…all through play. Playing, learning, and exploring is what prepares a child for adulthood. When your child is unable to do these things without pain or discomfort, there’s a problem.
Physical therapy is recommended for children who are not meeting their milestones, as well as children who are experiencing physical challenges as a result of a health condition or injury affecting their musculoskeletal system. Young athletes with injuries or sports-related pain can also benefit from pediatric physical therapy.
Our goal is to help you and your child live their best life, participate in family routines, play and grow like you would want them to, and get them prepared to do anything they put their minds to do!
There are several conditions a child may have that will require support from a skilled pediatric physical therapist at Renue Physical Therapy. Some children have difficulty with gross motor skills as a result of being born prematurely or have neurological impairments that can be the result of a genetic disorder or complications during birth.
Below is a list of conditions pediatric physical therapy is recommended for:
Our therapist’s ultimate goal is to ensure your child can live the highest quality life possible while keeping you in the loop regarding their treatment. We encourage parents to work with their children at home often, to ensure continued growth and progress.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment option This kind of therapy can relieve pain resulting from a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions.
