Physical Therapy addresses limitations including postural and mobility dysfunctions in children. Therapeutic motor activities are used to help the child access all environments efficiently and safely.
Our therapists are specialists in the evaluation and treatment of infants under one year of age, as well as other children with torticollis, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, prematurity, muscular dystrophy, motor problems associated with autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome, and other genetic disorders.
We have physical therapists with advanced training and specialty certifications in areas including neurodevelopmental treatment, sensory integration, lower extremity bracing and orthotics, body-weight supported treadmill training, Doctoral or Masters-level degrees, and board-certification from the American Physical Therapy Association as Pediatric Clinical Specialists (PCS).
At Therapy West, we emphasize family-centered care and encourage caregiver involvement in their children's programs. We offer clinic-based treatments as well as home visits, school visits, and visits to other natural environment settings.

· Gross motor skill development
