Physical Therapy

At Therapists 2 Go, pediatric physical therapists (PTs) are experts in evaluating and treating children who have difficulties moving their bodies. They achieve this by correcting or improving motor impairments, providing resources for missing skills and building on existing abilities. Pediatric physical therapy promotes independence, increases participation, facilitates motor development and function, improves strength and endurance, enhances learning opportunities, and eases challenges with daily care giving.

Physical therapists evaluate and treat children with a wide range of diagnoses, including:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
• Cancer
• Cerebral palsy
• Chronic pain
• Concussion
• Cystic Fibrosis
• Developmental Coordination Disorder
• Developmental delay
• Juvenile arthritis
• Orthopedic injuries or conditions
• Pediatric obesity
• Stroke
• Toe Walking
• Torticollis
• Traumatic brain injury

At Therapists 2 Go, we believe that the family is closely involved with the child’s therapy.  We value your input and participation to help develop and carry out the therapy plan.  Discussion of progress, recommendations and home programming will be provided to ensure maximum benefit from physical therapy.
