Physical and Occupational Therapy

Our physical therapists have extensive knowledge about how kids' bodies move and how to improve their movement. For physical and sports physical therapies, our goal is to help kids and teens gain or restore strength, improve their balance and coordination and increase their range of motion.

Our pediatric occupational therapists help develop and restore needed skills. We work with kids recovering from serious injuries and with special needs. Treatment can involve:

  • Activities designed to build skills for daily life like eating, bathing and dressing
  • Developing fine motor skills
  • Play-based therapeutic activities to support function in a child's natural environment
