Pediatric Physical Therapy

Our licensed pediatric physical therapists (PTs) focus on helping children develop, improve, or restore movement and motor function to support their growth, independence, and participation in daily activities. We address a wide range of physical challenges, including delays in gross motor development, balance and coordination difficulties, muscle weakness, torticollis, and recovery from injury or surgery.


Using play-based and age-appropriate activities, our physical therapists work with children to build strength, flexibility, endurance, and functional movement skills. The goal is to help each child move confidently and safely in their home, school, and community environments.

Who could benefit from physical therapy?

All of our physical therapists are credentialed by the State of Illinois Early Intervention (EI) Program and specialize in coaching and collaborating with parents and caregivers of children from birth to age three. EI therapy is provided either in-home or at daycare settings. To maintain this credential, our therapists complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education (CEUs) focused specifically on Early Intervention.

Please note that Early Intervention sessions must be authorized by the local Child and Family Connections (CFC) office and are separate from in-office private therapy.
