Physical therapists use specific techniques, equipment, and activities to improve muscle strength, range of motion, joint mobility, balance, coordination, posture, and gait. Collaboration may occur with your child’s medical, therapy, and educational team including communication regarding orthotics, adaptive equipment, and assistive technology.
