Pediatric PT Solutions in Westchester County
You noticed something. The head that always turns the same way. The milestone that has not arrived. The falling that everyone keeps telling you he will grow out of. You are not overreacting for asking. Pediatric physical therapists are educated specifically in movement, and the job is to work alongside your child and your family so your child can function as independently as possible at home, at school and out in the community. We see newborns through young adults at our Port Chester and Mt Kisco clinics. Start with whichever of these sounds most like your child.
Find what sounds like your child. Start there.
Assessment & Plan
A thorough evaluation that measures where your child actually is, then a written plan and a home program you can run between visits.
Torticollis & Plagiocephaly
When a baby's head always tilts or turns one way, and when flat head shape follows. Tight neck muscles respond well to therapy that starts early.
Gross Motor Delays
Rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, stairs. When the big milestones are late, we find what is holding them up and build the skill in order.
Motor Coordination
The child who trips constantly, cannot catch, or gets left behind on the playground. Coordination is trainable, and graded practice is how it is trained.
Core Strength & Conditioning
Slumping at the table, tired legs, low endurance, flat feet. Trunk strength sits underneath posture, sitting tolerance and stamina on the field.
Infant & Toddler PT
Therapy for the youngest patients, built around play, tummy time and parent coaching so the work continues at home between sessions.
What physical therapy in Port Chester and Mt Kisco actually looks like.
Whatever brought you here, the sequence is the same. A thorough assessment comes first, because a tilt, a delay or a pattern of falling can have more than one cause and the visible symptom is rarely the whole story. Then a written plan, then 45 minutes of one on one work with a licensed pediatric therapist, most of it disguised as play, and a home program so the gains keep going between visits. The conditions we see include torticollis and flat head shape, gross motor delay and general developmental delay, developmental coordination disorder, low tone and high tone, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, spina bifida, brachial plexus injury and Erb's palsy, muscular dystrophy, arthritis including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, prematurity, genetic syndromes, congenital differences, gait patterns such as toe walking and in-toeing, balance trouble and frequent falls, childhood obesity, orthopedic and peripheral nerve injury, traumatic brain injury, post selective dorsal rhizotomy therapy, deconditioning and tummy time resistance. One practical note before you call: New York State requires a physician's prescription for pediatric physical therapy. If you do not have one yet, book the free 15 minute consultation first and we will tell you honestly whether therapy is the right next step, and our physician resources page gives your pediatrician the codes and referral language they need.
