Strength. Confidence. Independence.
Physical therapy at VITA isn’t about clipboards and counting reps, it’s about turning everyday struggles into everyday wins. First steps, big leaps, and everything in between.
It’s tough watching your child struggle to keep up.
Whether it’s delayed milestones, clumsy coordination, trouble with balance, or recovering after an injury, every parent wants to see their child move freely, play fully, and feel confident in their body.
The Power of Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy helps kids move with strength, balance, and confidence in the places that matter most: home, school, the playground, and the field.
At VITA, we don’t just run through exercises, we uncover what’s getting in your child’s way and rebuild from the ground up.
That means:
A child who avoids stairs because of balance challenges learns to climb them with ease.
A toe-walker gains the flexibility and strength to run flat-footed and pain-free.
An athlete recovering from an injury gets back to the sport they love with confidence.
A toddler who seemed “behind” finally hits those first milestones: crawling, cruising, or walking on their own timeline.
What research shows: Children who strengthen their core, coordination, and mobility through PT see measurable improvements in participation, independence, and confidence, not just in therapy, but in every part of daily life.
PT is where movement meets freedom. Progress shows up not in our clinic walls, but in the laughter on a trampoline, the victory lap on the playground, and the quiet confidence of a child who finally feels at home in their body.
The Core Areas of Growth at VITA:
We’ve built our therapy at VITA around six core areas of development, because treating the whole child is where real change happens.
How PT Works at VITA:
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy. Every child moves through our clear, three-step method:
1. Assess
A strengths-based evaluation that looks at the whole child, not just the symptoms. We get to the root.
2. Activate
A customized plan that’s practical, targeted, and tailored to your child and family.
3. Advance
Ongoing therapy with measurable progress that carries into home, school, and daily life.
Conditions We Treat:
Every child’s body tells a story. Our pediatric physical therapists are trained to spot what’s underneath the surface, the “why” behind the movement challenges—so kids can build strength, confidence, and independence. Here are some of the most common areas we address:
Developmental delays
• Rolling, crawling, pulling to stand
• First steps and independent walking
• Running, jumping, skipping, climbing
Toe walking & gait concerns
• Persistent toe-walking
• Flat feet, pigeon-toed, or knock-kneed gait
• Uneven stride, limping, or frequent tripping
Sports injuries & orthopedic recovery
• Sprains, strains, and fractures
• Post-surgical rehab (casting, bracing, orthopedic procedures)
• Return-to-sport readiness and injury prevention
Balance & coordination challenges
• Frequent falls or clumsiness
• Difficulty with stairs, riding a bike, or playground equipment
• Trouble catching, throwing, or kicking balls
Neurological or genetic conditions
• Cerebral palsy
• Down syndrome
• Muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders
• Developmental coordination disorder (DCD)
Strength & mobility limitations
• Low muscle tone or core weakness
• Stiffness, tight muscles, or limited range of motion
• Fatigue or endurance challenges during daily activities
Cranial & head shape concerns
• Torticollis (head tilt or preference to one side)
• Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)
• Postural asymmetries related to cranial alignment
Don’t See What You’re Looking For?
Not sure if PT is right for your child?
Pediatric PT covers a wide range of movement challenges, and no two kids move the same way. If your child’s needs aren’t listed above but involve strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, recovery after injury, or delays in motor milestones, chances are we can help.
Contact our team and we’ll review your child’s history, consult with your physician if needed, and guide you toward the best next step.
