Physical therapy

Physical therapists at Polinsky Medical Rehabilitation Center help children increase their strength, balance, mobility and coordination to improve their functional mobility and reach their highest level of independence.

We help with these skills:

• Coordination and balance skills, such as standing one on foot or kicking a ball
• Gross-motor skills, such as crawling, walking and running
• Increasing flexibility of muscles and joints
• Strengthening through exercises on a variety of equipment
• Sensory integration/sensory processing (in conjunction with occupational therapists) to help with high level gross motor skills, body awareness and planning movement

Physical therapists also do pool therapy and evaluate children for adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs, walkers, adaptive strollers, car seats and bath seats.

Among their treatments are Kineso-taping, Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release.
