Pediatric Physical Therapy

 Helping your child reach their full potential is every parent's dream. At St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville, our pediatric physical therapy program is designed to support your child's development through movement and play.  Our experienced therapists create a fun and engaging environment where children can overcome challenges, build strength, and achieve their developmental milestones.

What is Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy is a specialized field that helps infants, children, and adolescents overcome physical limitations and improve their gross and fine motor skills. This can involve anything from learning to crawl and walk to mastering handwriting and participating in sports.

Who Can Benefit from Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Our program can benefit children of all ages experiencing a variety of challenges, including:

• Developmental Delays:  If your child is not meeting typical developmental milestones for their age, physical therapy can help them catch up in areas like balance, coordination, and strength.
• Cerebral Palsy:  Physical therapy can improve muscle control, coordination, and mobility in children with cerebral palsy.
• Torticollis (Wry Neck):  This condition can cause tightness in the neck muscles, limiting head movement. Physical therapy can help stretch and strengthen these muscles.
• Genetic Disorders:  Physical therapy can address physical limitations associated with various genetic conditions.
• Sports Injuries:  Our therapists can help children recover from sports injuries and prevent future ones by improving flexibility and strength.
• Post-Surgical Rehabilitation:  Physical therapy can help children regain strength and movement after surgery.

What to Expect in Our Pediatric Physical Therapy Program:

• Comprehensive Evaluation:  Our therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your child's unique needs, strengths, and challenges.
• Play-Based Therapy:  We create a fun and engaging environment where therapy feels like play. Through games, activities, and exercises, your child will develop new skills and improve their physical abilities.
• Family-Centered Approach:  We believe parental involvement is crucial. Our therapists will guide you on exercises you can perform with your child at home to support their progress.
• Collaboration with your Child's Care Team:  We work closely with your child's pediatrician and other healthcare professionals to ensure a coordinated approach to their care.

Benefits of Pediatric Physical Therapy:

• Improved Motor Skills:  Your child will gain strength, coordination, and balance, allowing them to participate more fully in daily activities and play.
• Enhanced Development:  Physical therapy can address developmental delays and help your child reach their full potential.
• Increased Independence:  As your child's physical abilities improve, they will gain greater independence and confidence.
• Reduced Pain and Improved Comfort:  Physical therapy can help manage pain associated with certain conditions, improving your child's overall well-being.
• Fun and Engaging Experience:  Our playful approach makes therapy enjoyable for children, fostering a positive association with movement and exercise.
