Services
Pediatric Physical Therapy
Specialized physical therapy for children with neuromuscular and orthopedic conditions, focusing on improving motor skills, balance, and functional mobility. Our approach combines NDT, manual therapies, and adaptive equipment to address diagnoses like cerebral palsy and torticollis. We emphasize family involvement through customized home exercise programs.
Orthotics Management
Custom orthotic evaluation, casting, and fitting to correct foot alignment and gait deviations. Utilizing Langer Biomechanics principles, we address conditions like flat feet and in-toeing through tailored devices that promote symmetrical development and improved mobility for long-term functional benefits.
Whole Body Vibration Therapy
Galileo Whole Body Vibration Therapy enhances muscle strength and reduces spasticity in children with cerebral palsy and similar conditions. This technology improves gait speed and bone density through side-alternating vibrations, offering a non-invasive solution to complement traditional physical therapy interventions.
Pilates Therapy
Adapted Pilates methodology strengthens core stability and body awareness in children with neuromotor disorders. Using reformers and mat exercises, we improve posture, coordination, and controlled movement patterns, making therapy engaging while addressing conditions like scoliosis and hypotonia.
Biofeedback Training
Biofeedback systems enhance body awareness for children with movement disorders, enabling real-time adjustments to muscle activation. This technique supports motor learning and functional improvements in coordination and strength, particularly effective for postural instability and gait deviations.
