| More on Pediatric Therapy As pediatric physical therapists, our main goal is to give children the opportunity to become as functional as possible. There can be countless things hampering their development, but our overall goal does not change. We work toward improving gross motor skills, strength, coordination skills, balance, range of motion, transfer skills, gait patterns, etc. Therapy in pediatrics is very similar to all other rehab, outpatient, and acute therapy except we must take it a step further by making it a "game" for the children. Our work is carried out in the classroom, on the playground, with therapy balls, tricycles, in stairwells, on balance beams, on bolsters, using basketballs, jump ropes and anything else you can conceive of. When asked what I do for a living, I usually reply...play. For that is truly what functioning during childhood is all about. |
