Physical Therapy
Supporting movement, strength, and confidence from rolling to running
What is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy helps children develop gross motor skills—the large movements needed for sitting, crawling, walking, running, and playing. We support children in building strength, balance, coordination, and confidence in movement.

- Not meeting movement milestones
- Difficulty with head control or sitting
- Delayed crawling or walking
- Poor balance or frequent falls
- Toe walking or awkward gait
- Weak muscle tone or stiffness
- Torticollis (head tilt) or flat head
- Difficulty climbing or navigating stairs

Timeline varies based on individual needs and frequency of therapy. We reassess progress every 6 months.
