Pediatric orthopedic manual physical therapy

We make pediatric physical therapy look like kid’s play.

Children are not little adults, and when they have illnesses or injuries affecting their bones, muscles or ligaments, they need specialized physical therapy. At OMPT Specialists, we are experts in working with kids of all ages on childhood conditions unique to them. We use manual physical therapy to address a broad variety of conditions, including muscle and joint limitations. Postural correction can help kids with curvature of the spine. Core training and education on safe movements can help kids with low back painlower back pain therapy or sports injury therapy.

Children with developmental coordination disorders can benefit from age-appropriate play activities, neuromuscular education and coordination activities.
Strengthening exercises and specialized equipment such as our AQUA TRAC, an underwater treadmill for aquatic physical therapy (hydro therapy), can help your child build endurance through gentle resistance while the water’s buoyancy protects delicate joints.
