Indicators for physical therapy evaluation for children
Kids need to have fun as they gain strength, balance, and coordination related to their gross motor skills.
Physical therapy helps children maintain or improve the use of their bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. More importantly, they obtain self-confidence and enhanced self-esteem as they improve sports skills, motor skills, and overall fitness.
