What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy helps children under 3 develop the muscle strength, balance, coordination, and motor control they need for everyday tasks—like crawling, walking, and playing safely.

Children in Sheepshead Bay often grow up navigating:

• Busy sidewalks and stairs
• Crowded parks or small apartment layouts
• Long stroller rides and local playgrounds

Our therapy is designed to support all of that—with sessions focused on:

• Crawling, walking, climbing
• Core stability and posture
• Motor planning for stairs and obstacles
• Gross motor play and injury prevention
• Functional movement for daycare or school readiness

What to Expect in a Session

Every session is adapted to your child’s needs and interests. Depending on their goals, we may:

• Use soft mats, toys, and games to build strength
• Support transitions like sitting, standing, or walking
• Guide movement through songs, rhythm, and routines
• Help your child explore, problem-solve, and try new motions
• Share coaching strategies with you for home practice

Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes and can be done at your home or at our warm, welcoming center on Avenue Z.
