Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine

Growing up is hard work and our goal is to help children become as independent and functional as possible in all areas of life. Our team cares for kids and teens recovering from injury or with diagnoses affecting physical function such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and more. Involving family is critical to success so we’ll provide you with home programs and ideas to incorporate therapy into your child’s natural environment to get the best possible results.
