Pediatric Physical Therapy
Personalized Physical Therapy Gets Results
Pediatric Physical Therapy focuses on helping children and adolescents with physical impairments that are impacting their mobility, balance, coordination, quality of movement, or age-appropriate gross motor skills. Physical therapists at Paramount focus on challenges related to abnormal gait, low or high muscle tone, decreased flexibility, pain, weakness, loss of balance, lack of coordination, poor posture, and asymmetrical movement patterns. Our Physical Therapists use a variety of techniques that vary based on the needs of each child and they focus on goals that pertain to everyday life skills and independence. At Paramount, we utilize a child-centered approach with family involvement to establish a plan that will grow with your child so you see positive functional outcomes that you can easily apply at home and in the community. Physical Therapy may also discuss and consult with physicians and community providers to secure medical equipment, orthotics, and assistive devices based on your child’s needs.
