β¨ October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month! β¨
Pediatric physical therapists support children of all ages! π€© Whether itβs learning to crawl, walk, play, or participate in sports, PTs are movement superheroes for kids! π₯³
β a few fun facts:
* PTβs Help Kids Hit Milestones β from sitting and crawling to walking and running, PTs help children meet important movement milestones!
* Itβs Not Just Rehab β PT for kids isnβt just for recovery. It also helps improve balance, coordination, strength, posture, and even motor planning in fun and engaging ways. π€©
* Play Is Part of the Therapy β PT sessions often look like playtime as we all see everyday! They use games, obstacle courses, toys, and fun activities to help kids build strength and confidence!
* Every Child Is Unique β PTβs work with kids with a wide range of conditions:
* Cerebral palsy
* Down syndrome
* Autism
* Muscular dystrophy
* Sports injuries
* Developmental delays
* Torticollis .. the list can honestly go on! π₯Ή
* Parents Are Part of the Team β PTβs often work closely with families to create home exercise routines and empower caregivers with tools for success when supporting their children!
Movement is a foundation for learning, play, and independence and all the PTβs around the world, especially our two PTβs help make it possible! π₯Ήπ©·
