Pediatric Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapists are trained to assess the motor development of children. They have the expertise to determine the appropriate treatment for physical limitations or functional impairments. They may use exercise in the form of play and/or use modalities as treatment techniques. Their goals may include improving a child's functional skills, and preventing or limiting disability in a variety of developmental areas. They may also modify the environment based on the child's physical and cognitive challenges.
The educational background of a pediatric physical therapist includes extensive course work in anatomy, neurology, physiology, psychology, and child development.
We have not yet hired a physical therapist, but hope to do so in the coming weeks. If you or someone you know would be interested in working with Faces of Hope, please call or email us!
