Pediatric Physical Therapy

At Elliott Physical Therapy our pediatric physical therapy services are designed to quickly address the special concerns related to orthopedic problems and injuries and restore normal function. We offer comprehensive pediatric physical therapy treatments for a wide range of conditions. Here are some of the conditions we treat:

  • Torticollis: Pediatric physical therapy can effectively address torticollis, a condition where a child’s neck muscles are tight, by providing targeted interventions to improve neck mobility and alignment.
  • Hypotonia (Low Muscle Tone): Physical therapy can assist children with hypotonia in building muscle strength, improving posture, and enhancing overall motor skills and physical development.
  • Orthopedic Injuries: Pediatric physical therapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries such as fractures, sports-related injuries, and musculoskeletal issues.
  • Gait Abnormalities: Children with walking or gait abnormalities can benefit from physical therapy interventions to correct alignment, improve balance, and ensure proper movement patterns.
  • Scoliosis: Pediatric physical therapy offers techniques to manage scoliosis, including exercises to strengthen muscles, improve posture, and prevent curve progression.
  • Muscle Weakness: For children experiencing muscle weakness, physical therapy provides targeted exercises to build strength, improve functional mobility, and enhance overall physical capabilities.
  • Joint Instability: Pediatric physical therapists work to address joint instability through targeted exercises that improve joint stability, promote better range of motion, and prevent further issues.
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Children recovering from orthopedic surgeries can benefit from physical therapy to regain mobility, strength, and function while preventing complications.
  • Growth-Related Conditions: Physical therapy can assist in managing growth-related orthopedic conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease or Sever’s disease by providing exercises to alleviate pain and promote healing.
  • Sensory Integration with Orthopedic Challenges: For children with orthopedic problems and sensory processing difficulties, physical therapy can incorporate sensory integration techniques to enhance motor skills and overall function.

At Elliott Physical Therapy we help children and teenagers with orthopedic problems and injuries recover quickly, returning to sports and normal activities. Children have special needs when it comes to recovering from an injury, fracture, surgery, or pain. For instance, as children develop, special care must be made to address their future growth and function. If your child is complaining of muscle or joint pain, is recovering from surgery or is not able to play sports or physical activities due to impairments, our expert physical therapists can help.

Adolescent sports-related injuries are on the rise, so much so that many orthopedic surgeons are calling it a “silent epidemic.” Elliott Physical Therapists will look at the whole child. Are they participating in year-round sports without seasonal breaks or playing on multiple teams? This increased exposure can lead to significant musculoskeletal injuries, both traumatic and chronic overuse. Our therapists will educate young players and parents about how to prevent overuse injuries and will address the special concerns related to orthopedic injuries that young players face when they are still growing.
