Physical Therapy
When a child or adult does not have the capacity to sit or walk independently, physical therapy provides assessment services to identify strategies for adaptations in body movements or appropriate equipment needed.
More Than Physical Therapy
Physical therapists work with children and adults to enhance their abilities to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives. Each client’s ability to participate in daily work and play/leisure activities is enhanced through physical therapy.
