Pediatric Physical Therapy
Pediatric Physical Therapy
At AKL, our pediatric physical therapists specialize in helping children develop strength, mobility, and independence in their movements. Our caring and highly-skilled physical therapists work with infants, children, and adolescents to facilitate the gross motor abilities necessary for participation in school, sports, play, and everyday activities.
- Gait, balance, and coordination training.
- Assistive mobility device fitting and training
- Developmental milestone assessment and intervention
- Sports injury rehabilitation and prevention
- Management of conditions like cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and torticollis
- Improving core stability, posture, strength, and flexibility
- Parent and teacher education on fostering gross motor skills and physical health
We provide pediatric physical therapy at our state-of-the-art clinic in Miami Springs, as well as through home health visits and on-site at preschools, daycares, and K-12 schools. Our therapists thoughtfully evaluate each child and family’s needs to develop customized treatment plans that are engaging, rewarding, and efficient.
Through our pediatric physical therapy program, we empower children to move to the best of their capabilities, gain independence, and develop self-confidence.
Parents contact AKL to inquire about Occupational and Physical therapy. AKL conducts a 5-minute questionnaire to gather patient information. An email is sent to the parents outlining the next steps. This email includes requests for specific documents required for the initial appointment with AKL. Upon confirmation of payment details, AKL sends another email to schedule and confirm the evaluation appointment.
The parent will be notified about the evaluation appointment through text, email, or a call. The notification will include details about necessary documents, the appointment's time and date, and the name of the licensed therapist conducting the evaluation. The therapist may contact the parent directly to confirm the appointment and coordinate the session. Following the evaluation, the parent will receive an email outlining the next steps.
The parent receives a notification when the plan of care is signed by the referring physician. We coordinate with the parent to determine their availability and the number of sessions to be provided weekly. After therapy begins, the success of the sessions relies on consistency and mutual feedback regarding the patient's development.
