Developmental Pediatric Physical Therapy
Every one of us wants the absolute best for our children! When a parent hears that their child has a developmental issue, it can create a significant amount of anxiety. Parents often feel overwhelmed or under-equipped in how to deal with it. Concern for the child is intense in and of itself; navigating the healthcare system with children can range from frustrating to flat-out scary. Our physical therapists can be an excellent resource for parents dealing with these issues.
It is a common misconception that Physical Therapy is only for athletes or adults with pain.
Children often require & can benefit from Physical Therapy intervention for a variety of reasons! Early evaluation and treatment for most conditions is KEY for the best recovery!
Some common issues that Pediatric Physical Therapy can help with include:
At Cardin & Miller Physical Therapy, an experienced Pediatric Physical Therapist will develop a treatment plan aimed specifically at each child’s needs. Often times, a well-designed plan will look and feel like play to your child in order to keep them engaged. These activities are intentionally designed to work towards specific goals for your child! TREATMENT IS NOT PAINFUL FOR YOUR CHILD! In fact, most children love coming to Physical Therapy because they aren’t even aware that they are working. To them, it often appears to be ‘Play Time’.
As a parent the most important thing to know is that YOU AND YOUR CHILD ARE NOT ALONE!
If you’ve ever asked yourself:
Why do my child’s feet roll in? Why can’t my baby hold her head straight? Is it normal for my child to complain about pain during activity? Why does my child have trouble keeping up with his/her peers? Is my child behind developmentally? For answers to these and many other developmental or injury-related questions, Physical Therapy is likely a great place to start.
