Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy at Sound Speech is child and family-centered and child-focused. Physical therapists have expertise in movement, motor development, and body function (e.g., strength and endurance), and we know our families are experts on their children! Pediatric physical therapy provides a wide variety of benefits for children facing physical challenges or developmental delays including:
-
Improved strength and flexibility to aid with participation in activities such as crawling, climbing, standing, and participation in sports
-
Better balance and coordination to improve running, walking, playing, and participation in extracurricular activities
-
Development of appropriate gross motor skills: rolling, crawling, walking, running, and jumping
-
Greater confidence and self-esteem in their ability as they participate with their peers
