Pediatric physical therapists focus on developing a child's movement skills
to help them reach motor milestones, improve strength, mobility, or endurance,
and prevent or limit permanent physical disabilities. Movement is the
foundation for maximizing your child's independence.
Your child may benefit from physical therapy if they have trouble:
Learning how to crawl or walk
Sitting or standing without support
Walking up and down stairs
Walking and running without tripping or falling
Catching or throwing objects
Playing
Staying on the same physical skill level as their peers
Maintaining good posture
Keeping balance or have trouble with coordination
Falling often or not protecting him/herself when he/she falls
Ask your child's healthcare provider to schedule an appointment with St.
Claire Physical Therapy. For further information, contact us at
