At First Choice Physical Therapy in Spring Creek, Carlin, Elko, NV and Elko Spine and Rehabilitation, we work with children ages 3 months-18 years old to ensure the best quality of care for each child. We work with children who are facing developmental delays and have challenges meeting their milestones, making it difficult for them to interact, learn, explore and play.
We also create a fun exercise environment at our Spring Creek, Carlin, Elko, NV and Elko Spine and Rehabilitation physical therapy clinics, where a child can rehab their injury and learn exercises that they can do at home so that they can get back in the game as quickly and safely as possible, while also learning ways to prevent future injuries. If you believe your child would benefit from physical therapy, request an appointment at First Choice Physical Therapy today.
What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
From birth, children are eager to play, explore and learn. They learn to explore and interact with their surroundings through rolling, crawling, walking, running and jumping…all through play. It’s the playing that prepares them for adulthood.
Physical therapy is recommended for children who are not meeting their milestones, as well as children who are experiencing physical challenges due to a condition or injury affecting their musculoskeletal system.
Our goal is to help you and your child live their best life, participate in family routines, play and grow like you would want them to and get them ready for anything.
When does physical therapy help?
Your child can benefit from physical therapy for a variety of reasons, such as:
- My child is 3 months but is not able to hold his or her head
- My 3-month-old child tilts her head to the left. At first, I thought it was cute, now I’m concerned that she’s not able to look in other directions and she’s getting a flat head.
