What is Pediatric Neuromuscular Physical Therapy? Neuromuscular physical therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that treats children with neurological impairments. It focuses on improving children's quality of life by enhancing their movement functions and overcoming physical challenges associated with neurological conditions.
Who Can Benefit? Children with neurological disorders such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, post-stroke, genetic disorders, and developmental delays can see significant improvements with neuromuscular PT. If your child struggles with coordination or motor skills or has delays in reaching developmental milestones like crawling or walking, we can help.
Meet Our New Specialist Our new therapist, Kyle McLaughlin, DPT, brings a wealth of experience and a passion for pediatric care making him a perfect fit for our Chatterbox team. Kyle has a proven track record of helping children achieve their highest potential through personalized, one-on-one therapy plans that are as unique as each child he works with.
