The work of children is to play and have fun, something we have been doing with our pediatric patients since 2013. Our focus is to facilitate gross motor skills movement and function in order to transition into a full and rich adult life. Function is our primary goal. After the brain has received proper input, we give the child practical skills suited to his/her ability level.

Our intensive model is designed to serve children with pediatric physical therapy needs such as cerebral palsy physical therapy and spina bifida physical therapy.
Pediatric physical therapy works with children as young as 2-3 months to 21 years of age.
Cerebral palsy physical therapy is the most common neuromotor condition seen, but we have much to offer children who need spina bifida physical therapy and other neurological conditions.
