Physical Therapy
Pediatric Physical Therapy
At Elevate Health & Therapeutic Services, we believe every child should be able to move, play, and explore the world with confidence. Our pediatric physical therapy services are designed to support children in reaching their highest potential—whether that means learning to crawl, taking their first steps, keeping up on the playground, or mastering sports skills. Our physical therapists work with children to improve their ability to participate in physical activity, meet developmental milestones, and engage in meaningful community activities. We work together with the child and family to set goals that will improve a child’s access to activities they enjoy, increase their ability to participate in recreational activities, and assist with prevention of future injury or musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Why Pediatric Physical Therapy Matters
Movement is the foundation for growth, independence, and participation in everyday life. When children face challenges with strength, balance, or coordination, it can affect not only their physical development but also their confidence and ability to connect with others.
Our physical therapists help children build the skills they need to:
Develop strength, coordination, and endurance
Improve posture and alignment
Gain independence in movement and self-care
Participate fully in school, play, and community activities
Our Approach
We know kids learn best through play, movement, and encouragement. That’s why our physical therapy sessions are:
Fun & Engaging – using games, obstacle courses, and activities to keep kids motivated
Family-Focused – with education and activities for parents to continue progress at home
Individualized – therapy plans tailored to each child’s abilities, goals, and personality
Collaborative – working alongside speech, occupational, and other therapies when helpful
Our goal is to make therapy feel like play while achieving real, lasting progress.
