4 Benefits of Physical Therapy
You’ve heard about physical therapy, or maybe your child is already in physical therapy. You know it does good things, but do you know exactly what the benefits of physical therapy are?
Here are just a few of the things that our physical therapists do that benefit your children:
1. We evaluate and provide treatment for delays in motor skills:
Our physical therapists are trained to evaluate your child to see if there are any motor skills areas in which they may be behind where they should be at their age. If our therapists do find delays, they can make a plan to help them with strength and range of motion exercises so that your child can move through their environment easily and effectively.
2. We help your child achieve independence:
By working on gross motor skills, such as rolling, crawling, walking, jumping and running, we can help your child achieve independence. If your child needs assistance with movement, we work on that and improve their ability to move through their days. Whatever skills are appropriate for their age level, we help them to be able to do those skills solidly.
3. We focus on posture improvement:
Good posture is not just a nice thing to have. It’s very important! Good posture helps your child have increased strength, endurance, and flexibility. Your body operates better and has less pain when your posture is good.
