Physical Therapy

Our Physical Therapists (PTs) here at Playful Progress provide therapeutic services which can help in restoring function, relieving pain, improving mobility and balance and coordination, and preventing and limiting permanent physical disabilities of children suffering from an injury or disease. It is their responsibility to promote, maintain, and restore the overall health and fitness of our child

Playful Progress treats a range of patients, from newborns to teenagers, for a wide variety of reasons — including nerve, spine, brain or genetic disorders. We also provide treatment for sports-related injuries and bone or muscle issues. Our PTs help children improve in areas like toe walking, developmental delays and gross motor functions and more.

Your Child may benefit from PT if He/She demonstrates.......

Infant

Limited head control or other strength concerns
Head Tilt
Preference to look one direction
Asymmetrical head shape
Inability to tolerate tummy time, especially by 3 months of age
Strong preference for using one side of his or her body (versus moving the right and lefts sides equally)

Toddler

Any concerns listed previously for infant
Frequent falls that lead to injury
Inability to jump
Inability to walk up or down stairs
Inability to climb on or off furniture safely
Other strength, balance, or coordination concerns

School-aged

Any concerns listed previously for infant or toddler
Difficulty navigating playground equipment
Difficulty keeping up with peers in physical situations or avoidance of physical abilities due to difficulties (which may result in missing out on social interaction/bonding with friends).

Talking with your child's pediatrician is a good place to start, but you do not need a doctor's prescription for a physical therapy evaluation. An evaluation can determine if your child demonstrates a delay with his or her gross motor skills and if physical therapy treatment can help. Even if it is determined that your child does not need physical therapy services at the time of the evaluation, the therapist will be able to give you ideas about how to support your child’s development or refer you to another specialist who may be able to address any concerns observed.
