Rehabilitación pediátrica
La rehabilitación hace referencia al proceso de ayudar a un paciente a recuperarse de una lesión o enfermedad grave. Los pacientes a menudo tienen que recuperar fuerzas y aprender nuevas formas de realizar las actividades cotidianas normales. La fisioterapia, una rama de la rehabilitación, se centra en aumentar la fuerza y movilidad tras una enfermedad, lesión o cirugía.

Comprehensive pediatric rehabilitation services
We provide services in inpatient, outpatient and early intervention settings.
Offering physical, occupational and speech therapies, we believe in taking a collaborative approach and having your child see more than one therapist during each visit, should they need it. This method is specifically designed for your child if they have feeding difficulties or global delays. Additionally, many of our team members work in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), meaning they have expertise in providing treatment for premature and ill infants.
To more completely meet your child's needs, our pediatric therapy clinic also offers individual treatment rooms, two gyms and a kitchen.
Occupational therapy
If your child needs assistance dressing, bathing or performing grooming tasks, our pediatric occupational therapists can support them. We help your child build their fine motor skills and coordinate the use of their hands so they can play, write, explore and learn. Our team also helps your child develop their social skills and teaches them how to use their five senses to process and make sense of the world around them.
Physical therapy
By focusing on your child's gross motor skills, we use physical therapy to encourage mobilization and exploration. Our pediatric physical therapists help your child develop strength and tone, training their muscles to sit, stand, balance, walk, reach, run and jump.
Speech therapy
Our pediatric speech-language pathologists work to help your child communicate with others. They do this by addressing their language development, speech production clarity, processing of speech and language and feeding and swallowing skills. Our therapists also focus on your child's literacy, cognitive or auditory processing disorder.
