Evaluation for Teens and Children: Sports Injuries, Pain or Post Surgery
During your child or teen’s physical therapy evaluation, we will comprehensively assess their movement patterns, posture, balance and motor skills and identify underlying impairments, such as muscular weakness, flexibility, joint mobility or range of motion deficits, and then develop a customized treatment plan. The evaluation and subsequent treatment sessions are a collaborative process between the student or athlete and the therapist that aims to treat the root cause of the problem and to restore function, alleviate pain, and optimize the student or athlete’s performance while minimizing the risk of future injuries. The treatment plan developed during the evaluation is designed to help the child return to their sport or activity safely and at their best possible level of performance.
Evaluations are 60 minutes in length.
