Physical Therapy:
PEDIATRICS:
Pediatric physical therapists evaluate and provide treatment for children who have motor skills problems. Your child might need physical therapy to help with developmental delay, a birth defect, chronic illness or an injury. Physical therapy helps develop the strength and range of motion children need to move through their environment easily and effectively. Physical therapy goals often include help with developmental milestones like sitting, standing, crawling and walking. Our licensed physical therapists also assess the need for orthotics (like splints and braces) and recommend adaptive equipment.

Children benefit the most from communication and feeding therapy when these problems are identified early. If you have any questions about your child's speech or feeding skills or if you think your child has difficulties understanding language, ask your child's doctor for a referral to ETS.
