What I can help with
PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES
Initial Evalution
This is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a licensed pediatric physical therapist to gather information about a child’s motor development, movement patterns, and overall physical function. The evaluation is the first step in designing an individualized treatment plan to address any developmental delays, impairments, or functional limitations that a child may be experiencing.
On-Going Treatment
This refers to a regularly scheduled and recurring therapeutic session designed to address an individual’s specific health needs and goals over an extended period. Sessions are scheduled at regular intervals, such as weekly or bi-weekly, to provide consistency and continuity in care.
Intensive Treatment Session
Intensive physical therapy often involves more frequent therapy sessions per week compared to standard rehabilitation programs. This increased frequency allows for more consistent and concentrated interventions.
