During the initial session, our therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child’s condition, including an assessment of their motor skills, strength, flexibility, and overall functional abilities. Based on the evaluation, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that incorporates age-appropriate exercises, play-based activities, and therapeutic interventions.
Our Pediatric Physical Therapy: Giving Wings To Every Child
There are few things as joyous as watching your child grow up, play freely, and slowly discover the amazing things that they can do with their body. It’s beautiful, like watching a baby bird slowly discover the wonder of flight.
But sometimes our children can encounter a range of health issues which impact their mobility, muscle strength, and neurological functioning. However, that doesn’t mean that they deserve to have a happy and active childhood any less than other kids.
We believe that every child deserves the joy of a playful, active childhood.
And we’re here to make it a reality for them and for you.
At Horizon Physical Therapy, we are passionately dedicated to supporting our youngest clients and giving them the strength and mobility that they need to enjoy a completely full and carefree childhood.
Solutions We Offer:
Here at Horizon Physical Therapy, we offer physical therapy and rehabilitation for the following range of pediatric issues:
Neurological
The brain is the organ that controls all of your child’s bodily functions. Neurological conditions make this brain-body relationship more difficult and non-intuitive and reduce your child’s quality of life.
Our pediatric physical therapy assists your child in overcoming the challenges of neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida. Our rehabilitation is customized to your child’s specific needs and focuses on addressing them.
Musculoskeletal
Children are constantly active and running around, and this makes life very difficult when their musculoskeletal structure (bones, muscles and joints) is harmed or adversely impacted, either due to injury or medical conditions.
We offer customized rehabilitation to address your child’s pain, speed up their healing process, and if possible in their case, restore them to completely normal bodily functioning.
Sports Injuries
Because of their softer tendon-connections, rapidly growing bones, and active and playful lifestyle, children are one of the most prone segments to sports injuries.
However, with the proper rehabilitation and exercise, children can be healthy and back to playtime with no lasting damage. We work to ensure your child’s proper healing, restore their mobility and boost their strength.
Mobility Assessment For Equipment
Disabilities and impairments don’t have to stop your child from living a full, healthy life independently.
Adaptive equipment such as special need beds, gait trainers, stroller, bath seats and standers offer greater autonomy and mobility while boosting your child’s confidence as they can perform their own tasks.
By partnering up with a local equipment specialist, we ensure your child gets the right fit based on their specific needs and preferences.
When It Comes To Your Child, You Want Their Treatment To Be …
At Their Own Pace
We are 100% committed to making your child feel comfortable about their progress. We never engage them in exercises in an overwhelming or alienating way. In fact, they’ll feel happy at their own progress and excited to do more things with their body!
Confidence-Inspiring
Children are innocent and have a tendency to self-blame or feel inferior regarding any difference that they exhibit. We never, ever let your child feel anything less than amazing. Because they are special, and they will leave each session feeling that way.
Effective and Progressive
Every case is different, and while there is no magic pill, you can be sure of one thing: our decades of experience and highly-rated track record ensure that your child’s condition is treated with top-quality care that has a proven record of results.
Horizon Physical Therapy is where your child begins their journey to confidence and growth!
