Children with prematurity, cerebral palsy, stroke, spina bifida, brain or spinal cord injury, spasticity, dystonia or other neurological diseases may benefit from rehabilitation.<\/p>\n<p>A physical therapist develops an individualized rehabilitation program that will help maximize your child&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<p>We know that each child is unique, with his or her own concerns that need to be addressed on an individual basis. The physical Therapist will work with your team to help your child maximize his or her full potential.<\/p>\n<p>Physical Therapy is concerned with all areas of your child&#8217;s life &#8211; social, educational, and medical, as well as, your family&#8217;s needs and goals. This can result in a significant increase in the quality of life for your child.<\/p>\n<p>An Individualized Rehabilitation Program may include:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Stretching and strengthening<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Orthoses \/ braces<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Adaptive equipment<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Casts and splints<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Injected medications<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Intrathecal baclofen pumps<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Oral medications<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Orthopedic surgery<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Physical Therapy<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Speech Therapy<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Occupational Therapy<\/li>\n<li style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">Dorsal rhizotomy surgery<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"\" class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Pediatric Rehabilitation?
