Pediatric Services
Physical Therapy Plus for Children
Would your child benefit from physical or occupational therapy? Have you noticed your child struggling to keep up with peers during play? Does your child have difficulty at school, but not quite qualify for school therapy services? If you have concerns about your child’s development, talk with your pediatrician about a prescription for physical and/or occupational therapy with Physical Therapy Plus at our Los Alamos clinic.
The first seven years of life are a critical time for intervention to address a child’s physical and cognitive development. At Physical Therapy Plus, we are passionate about helping children build a strong foundation for achieving their full potential.
Learning & Growing through Play
Our pediatric therapists approach therapy with an eye to individuality, creating a treatment plan to improve the quality of everyday life for children and their families.
Therapy sessions are casual, fun, and play based. Your child will spend the full hour one-on-one with their therapist.
Our therapists are masters- or doctorate-level providers, who practice up-to-date evidence-based treatment tailored to each child’s specific needs.
