National Physical Therapy Month #choosePT

October is National Physical Therapy Month and we are celebrating with the APTA #choosePT

Pediatric physical therapy is not just rehabilitation of injuries or therapy for ‚Äúlittle adults‚Äù. While it certainly includes rehabilitation from sports injuries, post-surgery, broken bones and other conditions, it more commonly addresses ‚Äúhabilitation‚Äù rather than ‚Äúre-habilitation‚Äù. That is, we are working with children to develop gross motor skills for the first time, rather than regain skills after a loss.  This ‚Äúhabilitation‚Äù often occurs when there is a gross motor delay related to late crawling and late walking.  At times, a delay is present in conjunction with a medical diagnosis, such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, mitochondrial disorder and spina bifida, to name just a few.
