What is Physical Therapy?

We're healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, for medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their ability to move and perform functional activities in their daily lives.

The physical therapist with JKP works to acquire maximum functional mobility in children with disabilities or injuries. In a playful and interactive environment, we use specialized, one-on-one techniques to address gross motor deficits in gait (walking), balance, strength, range of motion and safety.

Physical therapy may be appropriate if your child has difficulties with:

  • Range of motion

  • Walking

  • Balance and coordination

  • Strength and endurance

  • Bony deformities

  • Participating in age-appropriate gross motor skills

  • Injuries due to sports or orthopedic conditions

  • Asymmetrical head or neck position

  • Adaptive equipment and orthotics

  • Pain management

*Contact your pediatrician if any of these concerns apply to your child.


Pediatric physical therapy focuses on the unique needs of infants, toddlers, children and adolescents. Early detection is desirable when a child experiences problems that inhibit natural movement and learning. 

Physical therapy is used for children suffering from diseases or injuries, including:

  • Acute injury

  • Birth defects

  • Developmental delays

  • Genetic disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy)

  • Head trauma

  • Limb deficiencies

  • Muscle diseases

  • Orthopedic disabilities

Physical therapists use therapeutic exercises, modalities and treatments to help children alleviate pain, regain strength and range of motion, master proper body mechanics for balance and flexibility and improve gross and fine motor skills.

 

Ready to take the first steps? Here’s how to get started on our sessions.

Doctor’s referral:

  1. Make an appointment with your child's primary care physician.
  2. Express to them your concerns about your child's development.
  3. Have the doctor send us a prescription for services and the appointment notes from your visit.
  4. Once processed, we will contact you to set up a time for the evaluation.

Evaluations:

Comprehensive evaluations are the first step in evidence-based treatment for speech therapy services.

  1. Interview parents/caregivers to determine concerns.
  2. The average length of time is 1.0-1.5 hours for assessments.
  3. Review the results with the parent/caregiver.
  4. Clinician completes the report with goals.
  5. Parent/caregiver and Clinician determine the frequency and length of sessions pending insurance approval.

Therapy Sessions

JKP offers a wide range of services to fit any schedule. We understand that most parents work, children need naps and taking children out of school for weekly sessions is difficult. Our heart is with your child, and we want to meet you where you are.

Therefore, we offer three options for therapy services:

  • Office Visits: Standard outpatient therapy services in our office.

  • Speech/Language/Feeding sessions are typically half-an-hour and occur 1-2 times a week.

  • Physical and Occupational therapy sessions last 30-60 minutes, depending upon the needs of the child.
