Physical Therapy

Our pediatric physical therapists help children develop strength, coordination, and mobility to support participation in daily activities. Therapy focuses on improving gross motor skills, balance, and overall physical function, helping each child reach their highest level of independence.

APT aims to help these individuals enhance their potential in activities at home and school and eventually independent living with varied interventions which include:

• Stretching, strengthening and massage therapy

• Endurance training

• Kinesiotaping

• Neuromuscular facilitation

• Electrical stimulation

• Splinting, bracing and adapting equipment

• Integration of social skills along with cognitive learning

APT's pediatric physical therapists will incorporate many different approaches into every day play time activities using, swings, balls, slides, and other toys to improve eye-hand coordination as well as balance and posture stability. Pediatric Physical Therapists work closely with children to ensure proper development in sitting, crawling, rolling, walking, running and participation in sports and games found in our vestibular equipment.
