A pediatric physical therapist assesses a child’s ability to maintain different body positions, transition between different body positions, move within the environment, and perform age-appropriate gross motor skills. They identify and treat the impairments that are interfering with these tasks, including (but not limited to) impaired range of motion, strength, posture, balance, coordination, proprioception, endurance, sensation, skin mobility, and vestibular function. They create a plan of care including specific goals aimed to improve a child’s level of functional mobility, participation in activities of daily living, and overall quality of life. Pediatric physical therapists also provide education to families and caregivers, assess equipment and orthotics/prosthetics needs, promote health and wellness, and collaborate with families, healthcare professionals, educational professionals, and developmental professionals.

Pediatric physical therapy can start as early as birth. If there are concerns or delays, the earlier a child begins physical therapy, the better.

“Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones. The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of milestones.”
