Physical Therapy  


Physical therapy at CPT focuses on a child’s ability to access available movement in order to maximize participation in their environment. Our physical therapists help children develop or refine mobility skills such as sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. Our pediatric physical therapists provide detailed evaluations of gross motor, developmental skills, flexibility, balance, strength, coordination and mobility in order to determine each child’s specific needs. Once those needs are determined the physical therapist employs the use of a variety of specialized treatments including neurodevelopment, sensory integration, and myofascial therapy.
 
Areas of focus include:
Posture

Balance
Walking
Mobility
Equipment needs
Muscle Tone
ROM, Strength, Flexibility
Specialized Handling-NDT, joint mobilization, and myofascial release
