Worried your child isn’t rolling, crawling, or walking when expected? Physical therapy can help them build strength and confidence to reach those big milestones.
In-home pediatric physical therapy to build strength, coordination, and confidence.
Learn about the process of pediatric physical therapy, from initial evaluation to ongoing care and therapy sessions.
This is a time for your PT to meet your child and assess any issues they may be having. You should be present the whole time and can give information regarding medical history, milestones, difficulties, etc.
Depending on age, your physical therapist may play games with your child to help get them to engage. Play is a great tool for pediatric physical therapists because it helps make the evaluation and follow-up sessions fun, while the games will also help your specialist evaluate for any delays, disorders, or other issues.
During the evaluation and during ongoing sessions, remember that you are encouraged to be present and ask questions! We highly encourage parents to be involved in the process as that typically leads to better outcomes.
After the evaluation your PT will discuss their findings with you and propose a treatment plan. This will often include recommended goals, session frequency, duration of treatment, and even referrals for other treatment if speech therapy won't address the concerns highlighted.
Your Coral Care PT will work with you to schedule regular at-home sessions depending on your availability. At-home treatments tend to work best for both the patient and provider and can fit seamlessly into your day.
The actual session activities will vary depending on your child's age and specific needs. For younger children the sessions may include games and exercises that pertain to the specific goals of those sessions.
Your physical therapist will also probably give you exercises you can do with your child to help encourage more practice and improvement! It can take some time to see progress, however if you stay consistent with your sessions and regularly do at-home exercises with your child, you will see improvements.
