Pediatric Physical Therapy

Achieve Beyond specializes in physical therapy services that help infants and children develop independence and safety allowing them to participate in their own environments including home, school and community settings. At Achieve Beyond, pediatric physical therapists work to develop the motor skills of children to make them independent at a higher level including:

• Muscle tone and strength;
• Posture and postural control;
• Pre-gait and gait training;
• Body alignment;
• Environmental adaptations, seating and positioning;
• Wheelchair positioning and mobility;
• Balance and coordination;
• Increasing range of motion;
• Endurance.

Licensed pediatric physical therapists help children examine, evaluate and develop an individualized program to increase the child’s motor skills. These programs usually integrate various treatment approaches into entertaining “play” therapy techniques that enhance the child’s capabilities. These services are done with or without assistive movement devices (crutches, wheelchair, etc). Physical therapists help each child reach the maximum potential of their abilities.
