Physical Therapy

At Recess Therapy, our physical therapy program collaborates closely with our Occupational and Speech Therapy teams, using theme-based lessons to help children reach their maximum potential. Our approach focuses on evidence-based strategies to strongly promote a child’s safety and independence in accessing their home, community, and school environments.

Our physical therapists are experienced in working with children with developmental, neurological, and orthopedic diagnoses. They work in tandem with occupational therapists to address sensory processing difficulties that may affect gross motor skills, as well as any strength and postural issues that may contribute to feeding difficulties.
