Pediatric physical therapy focuses on addressing the unique needs of infants, children, and adolescents who experience delays or challenges in their functional movement and participation development. Physical therapy is designed to optimize motor skills, movement patterns, and overall physical function to support a child's unique growth and development.
At Balanced Creations Therapy & Trampoline, our developmental pediatric physical therapy services cover a wide range of conditions and concerns, including but not limited to:
Motor Delays: Addressing delays in gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, navigating stairs and environments.
Neurological Conditions: Providing interventions for children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and developmental coordination disorder.
Orthopedic Conditions: Managing musculoskeletal conditions such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, and toe walking.
Genetic Disorders: Supporting children with genetic disorders that impact their physical development and mobility.
Sensory Integration and Executive Functioning: Addressing sensory processing and motor planning difficulties that affect a child's ability to participate in daily activities and movement.
Balance and Coordination: Improving balance, coordination, and postural control to enhance functional mobility and participation in activities.
Through individualized assessment and treatment plans, our developmental pediatric physical therapists work collaboratively with families to achieve meaningful goals and support each child's unique journey to reaching their full potential through child-led play-based sessions in a neurodiversity-affirming environment.
This is a one-on-one, in-depth evaluation consisting of an age-appropriate analysis of posture, balance and coordination, flexibility, strength, mobility skills, transitional movements, quality of movements, motor planning, gait/walking quality, and higher-level gross motor skills, if appropriate. You will receive a written report with observational and standardized results outlining your child's strengths and areas that could be improved with physical therapy, demonstration and collaborative education on purposeful play-based activities to be completed throughout the day specific to your child and home, a detailed home exercise program complete with pictures and videos specific to your child and their gross motor goals (as needed), a list of developmentally appropriate toys specific to your child and their goals (as needed), and ongoing concierge support via phone/text/email to ensure success.

It depends. For more wellness based preventative care, typically, we see families for approximately 2-4 sessions. In some cases, with musculoskeletal concerns and/or gross motor delay with a co-occurring medical diagnosis, the length and frequency of services can vary. We individually create care plans and frequency of services to meet the needs of each child and the family's values. When families are committed to the process, we usually see steady improvement. Families who get the best results are those who work diligently and patiently with their child daily and focus on purposeful play-based activities throughout the day — change is hard and progress is rewarding! If there is a functional plateau or if the situation worsens, we refer to another provider either in addition to our services or instead of our services.
