Better Movement, Better Function
Nemours Children's pediatric physical therapists help improve movement and function in kids. Our goal is to increase strength, improve mobility, reduce pain, increase range of motion, and build confidence. We help kids be as active as possible at home, with friends and at school.
Our team is highly skilled in working with kids of all ages, from newborns to teens. We understand the physical and emotional effects of injuries, neuromuscular diseases, developmental delays and treatments like surgery. Our care is specific to your child’s condition, goals and abilities.
We work closely with other providers to keep your child healthy, fit and moving forward. We use the latest technologies, equipment and methods. In addition to individual and group sessions, we help with assistive devices, school supports and home exercises.
We’re here for your whole family, providing support and education for your child’s success.
