Elite Therapy Center's physical therapy team is dedicated to assisting in early detection of motor development problems and identifying concerns with movement, posture, strength, developmental delays, body position, and functional independence in children birth to 21 with any degree of impairment.
After birth or if a child experiences an injury, physical therapists work to decrease pain and help kids return to daily activities. They teach kids exercises designed to help them regain strength and range of motion and also show kids and families how to prevent future injuries. Physical therapy might be needed any time a problem with movement limits someone’s daily activities.
A physical therapy evaluation is often recommended for children with disabilities or sports injuries or any developmental scenario causing limitations in movement and physical exertion.
