Physical Therapy isn’t just for athletes and adults in recovery! Sometimes children and adolescents need physical therapy, too!
Patterson PT will treat children/teens for a variety of reasons including bone/muscle issues, sports-related injuries, or genetic brain, spine, or nerve disorders. Pediatric physical therapy at Patterson Physical Therapy is hands-on, play-based therapy designed to strengthen, improve movement patterns, achieve developmental milestones, and improve body functions.
Our goal is to help children and adolescents move their bodies how and when they want to the best of their ability. Our team can help kids with many issues including:
- Recovery from sports- and non-sports-related injuries
- Delays in development, such as a child who should be walking
- Not hitting the milestones for their age
- Genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome
- Muscle weakness or imbalances
- Poor coordination and/or motor planning – which is the ability to think of and carry out a motor act, such as writing with a pencil
Nerve/muscle conditions, such as cerebral palsy
