Pediatric Physical Therapy in Phoenix, AZ

Taking care of your child is your primary focus as a parent. You spend time with them, play with them, and ensure they're happy and safe. But sometimes, babies and toddlers need a little extra support. While milestones may be met naturally, not all children progress at the same rate. This is especially true if neurological or orthopedic conditions affect their gross motor skills, such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, cerebral palsy, and more. 

There are also pediatric physical therapy services near you that you can rely on. If you're looking for the best pediatric physical therapy program in Phoenix, look no further than Moving and Grooving Physical Therapy for these in-home and private services. Our specialists are dedicated to ensuring your child has the support they need to grow, develop, and easily navigate life!

How Pediatric Physical Therapy Supports Development

So, you've decided to seek out pediatric physical therapy in Tempe, AZ, or Phoenix. That's wonderful! But you might be asking, how does pediatric physical therapy support your child? Why should I seek out a program or services for babies and toddlers? Pediatric physical therapy supports growth in children with the exercise and movement needed to build strength, mobility, and gross motor skills so that they can overcome certain obstacles they're facing and reach milestones that their peers have already passed. 

Physical therapy, from stretches to play therapy, helps children grow stronger as they utilize essential muscle groups and hone motor skills to interact with the world around them more effectively. Some children easily hit milestones, while others may need more support. That's where we come in!

Pediatric Physical Therapy Can Help Treat A Variety Of Issues

Pediatric therapy can treat numerous issues, including:


  • Issues with certain movements, or lack of movement, that cause delays. Some families may not have the opportunity to spend as much time with their children, which can limit them from reaching certain milestones. Choosing a team of supportive adults who have the same goals and interactions with your child is crucial for your child to meet their milestones. Pediatric physical therapy can help them get back on track and help you learn the best ways to support them in continuing to reach essential milestones.
  • Various conditions cause delays. Whether it be torticollis, plagiocephaly, or even cerebral palsy, children with specific conditions and disorders don't interact with the world around them in the same way as they do. We work with them to provide specialized treatment tailored to their needs. When you work with us, you get support from specialists who know how to offer effective early intervention for your child in a way that works best for them.
  • Fine motor skills, behavior skills, and even sensory processing can all be impacted by autism and other conditions.

We Utilize Play-Based Therapy

Physical therapy (PT) near Phoenix works to improve movement skills, motor coordination, and overall physical strength, helping children build a strong foundation for daily activities. At Moving and Grooving PT, we utilize play-based therapy in our pediatric physical therapy approach. Play-based therapy is especially effective because it allows children to express emotions, interact more stimulatingly with the world around them, learn to engage with their surroundings, and master movement in their bodies. 

Early intervention and pediatric therapies ensure that children reach milestones and have and having fun along the way. If you've been looking for pediatric occupational therapy in Mesa, AZ, or other Arizona areas like Phoenix but want your child to have access to services that will be especially beneficial to your child, start here at Moving and Grooving PT!
