In-Home and In-Clinic
Pediatric Physical & Occupational Therapy
At Moving and Grooving Physical Therapy, we take the pressure off of you as parents and alleviate your mom guilt. We understand how stressful it can be when your child isn’t meeting their milestones. From the moment your baby tries to hold their head up to taking their first steps, to riding a bike, we want to be there to help make it all happen! Our mission is to help them meet their milestones, one day at a time.
What Is Pediatric Physical & Pediatric Occupational Therapy?
Pediatric physical & occupational therapies are an excellent tool to utilize for your child’s motor and social-emotional development. These therapies help children (pediatrics) meet their gross & fine motor milestones, become more coordinated, improve posture, strength, mobility & flexibility, prevent surgery & help them become regulated in order to be ready to learn!
Therapy helps take your child 'off the bench' and move them onto the 'starting lineup,' throughout a variety of interventions. These include parent education, stretches, exercises, positioning, massage, and more, to help reach your child's goals. Pediatric physical & occupational therapies also incorporate toys and equipment to enhance your child’s overall enjoyment, fun & development! Physical & occupational therapy help make family activities such as going to the park, cooking, dressing, going on outings, doing arts & crafts, and play, easy & stress-free! They help take the guessing out of 'what could I be doing better to help my child succeed' and give you the resources you need to truly help your child be the best version of themselves. Utilizing these therapies helps build up your and your child's confidence, knowledge & endurance and helps prevent meltdowns.
If your child struggles with any of their motor milestones (as addressed at your pediatrician 'well child check'), or you find yourself describing their movements or posture as 'weak, fragile, fussy, tight, loose, clumsy, lazy, slow, hating sports, a couch potato,' or similar, we're here to help them get back on track... both literally & figuratively!

The Importance of Early Intervention
The pediatric physical therapy in Mesa, AZ, services are focused on early intervention due to the many benefits of addressing and tackling child developmental problems early on. First, early intervention allows us, as specialists, to identify the root cause of the developmental problem quickly. With this, we can immediately adopt proactive pediatric physical therapy and occupational therapy solutions that improve your child’s motor skills.
The Benefits of Early Intervention for Your Child's Development
Early intervention and consistent treatment can help your child catch up with developmental milestones. This will not only help improve their motor skills, but it will help stave off more serious developmental issues in the future. Third, a child’s brain has high plasticity. This neural plasticity allows babies, toddlers and children to quickly develop new motor skills and behaviors when early intervention is adopted.
Additional benefits of using a pediatric treatment plan early on include improving your child’s confidence, posture, balance, muscle strength, and coordination. All are incredibly important in helping your child engage in social activities, games, sports, and exercises with other children. In the end, early intervention is essential to improving your child’s quality of life.

The Role of Family in Pediatric Physical Therapy
Within any pediatric physical therapy situation, the role of the family can never be overlooked. ‘Family’ can be beyond what we think of, representing more of our care network for our children and including nannies, babysitters, and even extended family. Your family provides critical support and care for your child as they go through each pediatric physical therapy exercise. That means fathers must support mothers, and siblings must also play their part in keeping babies, toddlers, and children engaged with the games, activities, exercises, and stretches that help with developmental issues.
