The Basics of Pediatric Physical Therapy

Physical therapy for children is PT for children under the age of 18. Children are susceptible to developing problems that can lead to issues with mobility. Although it’s easy for a majority of people to lean over and grab an object or walk across the street, it could be difficult for children with physical issues to tackle these difficulties.
