Our Therapeutic Process
Our approach to physical therapy typically involves the following steps:
Comprehensive Evaluation
A physical therapist will utilize the child’s medical and developmental history, an observational assessment, and a standardized assessment tool to develop your child’s physical therapy plan of care and individualized goals.
Development of Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on the evaluation results, we create a personalized treatment plan outlining specific goals, strategies, and activities tailored to your child’s needs. This plan is designed to address key areas of development, such as motor skills, balance, coordination, and sensory integration.
Engaging Therapy Sessions
We provide therapy sessions that are both fun and effective, incorporating play, structured activities, and evidence-based techniques. Our therapists work with your child in a supportive environment, using creative and engaging methods to help them develop the skills they need to succeed.
Progress Monitoring and Adjustment
We regularly assess your child’s progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed to ensure ongoing success. By continuously monitoring progress, we can make data-driven decisions to enhance the effectiveness of therapy and help your child reach their goals.
Parent Education and Support
Throughout the therapeutic process, we provide parents and caregivers with the tools and knowledge they need to support their child’s development at home. We offer guidance on how to reinforce therapy techniques in daily routines, ensuring that your child’s progress extends beyond the clinic.
Empowering Families, Transforming Lives
We are devoted to providing your child with a safe and nurturing environment. Our physical therapists use a child-led and play-based approach to promote body autonomy, confidence, and engagement. We also work closely with our occupational therapists to make sure that we are implementing sensory and emotional regulation strategies to support our clients.
We will be addressing your child's goals through therapist and child-directed activities, such as obstacle courses, posture, and positioning while playing on the floor, jumping skills, and ball skills.
