Pediatric Physical
Therapy
Treatment includes exercises that improve strength, balance,
coordination,
and endurance. Goals of therapy
focus on helping children improve their function,
mobility, relieve pain and prevent or limit permanent
physical disabilities.
Therapists teach children to use
assistive and
adaptive devices, such as crutches,
walkers and
wheelchairs. They also evaluate and make recommendations
for
orthotics.
