Palmer Pediatric Therapy

Pediatric Therapy in Palmer: Physical and Occupational Therapy

Developmental delays, genetic disorders, injuries, or other circumstances may impede your child’s strength, range of motion, and coordination. For these reasons, physicians often recommend Physical Therapy for the child. Our Physical Therapists are here to evaluate your child, create a comprehensive treatment plan to address any concerns, and carry out therapy.

Palmer Pediatric Physical Therapy

Through developmental activities, strength and balance exercises, stretches, adaptive play, massage, and other physical therapy techniques, we’ll encourage improvements in your child’s movement and ability to accomplish daily activities.

Our Pediatric Therapists aim to improve your child’s physical well-being, limit any pain or discomfort resulting from physical problems, and educate parents to assist the child at home.

For our Palmer staff, there’s nothing better than seeing a child reach their goals and master new skills and abilities.

What Does a Pediatric Physical Therapist do?

Pediatric physical therapy helps children improve their range of motion, strength, flexibility, and movement patterns. Pediatric physical therapy aims to help kids move their bodies how and when they want to the best of their abilities and make everyday activities easier.

What Will My Child Do in a Physical Therapy Session?

A Pediatric physical therapy session will look and feel like play. A Pediatric therapist will engage your child with fun, age-appropriate games and activities to keep them motivated and happy.

Your child should have fun, while it still can be hard work.

Physical therapy helps improve gross motor skills, such as tasks that involve large muscle groups, like walking and throwing.

Therapists encourage kids to do things like:

• Balance on a balance beam
• Play on a large exercise ball to build strength
• Run/hop around to improve their coordination
• Stand on one foot
