Schroth Method for Scoliosis
Growing bodies are constantly changing, and sometimes children and teens need a little extra support to move, play, and participate with confidence. Pediatric and Adolescent Therapy at ACCESS PT focuses on helping young people develop strength, coordination, balance, and movement skills so they can keep up with daily activities, sports, and school routines. Our care is designed to meet children where they are developmentally, while supporting healthy growth and long-term movement.
What Is Pediatric & Adolescent Therapy?
Pediatric and Adolescent Therapy is specialized care for infants, children, and teenagers who may be experiencing movement challenges, developmental delays, or injuries. Therapy supports motor skill development, posture, balance, and strength while promoting confidence and independence.
Unlike adult therapy, pediatric care emphasizes growth stages, play-based activities, and age-appropriate movement patterns. Therapy sessions are designed to be engaging and purposeful, helping children learn through movement rather than repetition alone.
Who Can Benefit from Pediatric Therapy?
Pediatric and Adolescent Therapy can help children and teens with a wide range of needs, including:
- Developmental delays in gross motor skills
- Balance or coordination difficulties
- Frequent falls or clumsiness
- Recovery after injury or surgery
- Muscle weakness or flexibility limitations
- Sports-related injuries
- Postural or movement concerns
From toddlers learning new milestones to teens returning to athletics, therapy is tailored to each child’s age, abilities, and goals.
Your Child’s First Visit
Your child’s first visit is designed to be welcoming and stress-free. We take time to talk with parents and caregivers about concerns, goals, and daily activities. Through observation, gentle testing, and play-based movement, the therapist evaluates how your child moves and interacts with their environment.
This allows us to identify strengths, challenges, and opportunities for improvement in a supportive and encouraging setting.
What Therapy May Include
Each child’s plan is unique, but therapy sessions may involve:
- Balance and coordination activities
- Strength and flexibility exercises
- Postural and body awareness training
- Gait and movement pattern improvement
- Sports-specific drills for young athletes
- Education for parents and caregivers
Sessions are designed to feel like playing, while building important movement skills.
Partnering With Families
Therapy works best when families are involved. We provide education and home strategies to support progress outside the clinic. Our therapists collaborate with parents, caregivers, and other professionals to ensure consistency across home, school, and sports environments.
Supporting Growth and Confidence
Progress in Pediatric therapy is measured in confidence, independence, and functional movement. Small improvements lead to big changes in how children move and participate in life.
