Physical Therapy Evaluation
At our first appointment, we will discuss any of your concerns and a full medical history document is a requirement. I will observe and evaluate your child’s motor skills as well as development based on his age. Meanwhile, I will be identifying any difficulties the child faces or areas that need my assistance and take measurements in order to establish a baseline we can track his progress. Actually, it is an assessment of your child’s mobility, posture, strength, balance, coordination and overall function. By the end of it, we will discuss findings and we will make a plan for follow-up care and assistance if necessary. Parents will always leave sessions with feedback and interactive activities you can do at home during the week, in-between appointments. Mainly, with collaboration we’ll come up with a plan of care. We’ll work together on creating a personalized plan of necessary as well as fun activities aiming to develop his gross motor skills.
Physical Therapy Follow-up
During our follow-up visits I will work one on one with your child to address the areas of concern. You or another caregiver are allowed to observe, ask questions, and practice the recommended activities during the lesson. It will focus on guiding your child through play-based and fun activities with main goal enhancing his developmental needs. A personalized treatment plan will be created via kids- friendly and functional exercises to improve development.
Virtual Follow-up

It has a more consultative nature, giving you guidelines and instructions in order to achieve the milestones and the goals with your child in the comfort of your house. By the end of the session, you will receive an email including everything we discussed and our recommendations.
