If your child or teen has been injured or has movement problems from an illness, disease or disability, we are specially trained to use a variety of treatments to help build strength, improve movement, and strengthen skills needed to complete daily activities.

We know the best way to get children motivated and involved is through play. That's why we use balls, swings and all kinds of toys to help kids in fun, creative ways. We even use therapy dogs from our Doggie Brigade to provide a little four-legged inspiration.

Therapy activities are used to decrease pain and help children and young adults return to daily activities. We adapt equipment, advise on the selection and use of wheelchairs, offer suggestions for splinting and orthotics, and fit Jobst pressure garments for burn patients. 

We provide care to patients in both the hospital and outpatient setting, and serve as a resource to schools and community programs. We are affiliated with more than 20 universities for teaching of students.

Sports Rehabilitation

From personalized sports physical therapy treatments to rehabilitation following injury and surgery, we help children, teens and adults get back to doing activities as quickly and safely as possible. Visit the Sports Rehabilitation web page.
