What to Expect
Our comprehensive services are personalized to each child and their sport. Our team works on modulating a child’s pain and returning them back to full function. We address underlying concerns to prevent future injury, and make sure each child is ready to return safely back to their sport with knowledge to best avoid re-injury. Depending on the cause and severity of the injury, each child will receive a customized plan of care incorporating the appropriate frequency and duration of their physical therapy. Our goal is to treat each kid in the least amount of therapy visits to return them back to their sport quickly and safely.
