What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy supports young children as they build strength, movement skills, and body awareness. In a neighborhood like Manhattan Beach—where outdoor play is part of daily life—these skills matter more than ever.

Therapy focuses on:

• Crawling, walking, and running
• Sitting and climbing
• Balance on uneven ground (like sand and sidewalks)
• Posture for seated play
• Core strength and injury prevention

We offer Manhattan Beach physical therapy that feels like play, but builds real skills for everyday life.

What to Expect in a Session

Every session is tailored to your child’s pace and goals, and may include:

• Songs, toys, and movement games
• Crawling or climbing practice
• Support with balance, standing, or walking
• Tips for at-home reinforcement
• Opportunities for parents to observe and join in

Sessions last 30 to 60 minutes, with progress tracked and shared along the way.
