Pediatric Physical Therapy 101

Are you worried about your child keeping up with peers? Is your child delayed with gross motor milestones? Has your child been tripping and falling more often? A pediatric physical therapist can help! At NorthLakes Community Clinic, our pediatric PTs can help kids improve their overall strength, range of motion, coordination, balance, and achieve developmental milestones. Their goal is to help make everyday activities easier for your child. Typically, pediatric PTs treat children from ages birth to 15 years old. They see a wide variety of diagnoses, including: developmental delay, plagiocephaly/torticollis, toe walking, balance/coordination problems with excessive tripping and falling, Autism spectrum disorder, genetic conditions, various neuromuscular disorders, and core weakness.
