My philosophy as a pediatric physical therapist
is based on three principles:
Assessment and treatment should be comprehensive.
I believe it is important to consider all areas of development (motor, cognitive, speech, social-emotional, adaptive), as well as physical health and external influences when assessing and working with a child. This approach has been shaped by years of collaboration with parents, family members, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, teachers, doctors, nurses, and social workers.
Pediatric physical
therapy should
be fun.
Since all early learning stems from play, children often respond best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves.
​
"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood."
~Fred Rogers
Everyone who cares about a child can be an asset to his or her development.
Therapeutic support is most successful when strategies are taught to all the important people in a child's life, allowing implementation to occur throughout the child's natural day. One of my goals is to empower you and any caregivers to assist your child by demonstrating how work with him or her on physical challenges in a natural and playful way.
