Pediatric physical therapy helps children build strength and increase range of motion, endurance, and coordination. Physical therapy can benefit children with developmental delays, birth defects, or illness. It provides the extra help some children need to achieve milestones such as walking, running, and jumping, or to develop other gross motor skills.
