Services
Physical Therapy Evaluations
Our comprehensive evaluations identify developmental needs and create baseline measurements for treatment planning. We assess motor skills, muscle strength, range of motion, and functional abilities through standardized testing. Each evaluation includes family consultation to develop personalized therapy goals.
Neuromuscular Disorder Treatment
Specialized interventions address conditions like cerebral palsy and Down syndrome through targeted movement programs. We employ Neurodevelopmental Treatment techniques to improve motor control and functional independence. Therapy sessions focus on enhancing coordination, balance, and muscle activation patterns.
Orthopedic Disorder Treatment
We treat orthopedic conditions including torticollis and scoliosis with manual therapy and corrective exercises. Our approach combines postural training, stretching protocols, and strength-building activities. Treatment plans address both immediate symptoms and long-term developmental considerations.
Orthotic Management
Our on-site orthotic clinic provides comprehensive assessment for orthotic needs and proper fit adjustments. We collaborate with orthotists to ensure optimal device functionality while monitoring skin integrity and developmental progress during regular follow-ups.
Parent Education Programs
We equip caregivers with home exercise programs and adaptive techniques for daily routines. Education sessions cover proper handling, positioning strategies, and developmental play activities to reinforce therapy goals outside clinical sessions.
