We know how intimidating it can be for a kid to have to undergo physical therapy. Physical therapy is often the result of a trauma or an injury, and the child has emotional associations with that painful experience.

 

It can be scary and the child might be afraid and dig in their heels, determined that they simply aren’t going to do it. No way.

 

Pediatric Physical Therapy At Home

 

At home pediatric physical therapy tears down one of these barriers: it brings the therapist into the child’s domain, the area that the child feels the most safe in. We get it: a doctor’s office can be scary and any kid can be afraid of the sterile environment, the foreign equipment, even the smell can be intimidating. 

 

But bringing the pediatric physical therapy to your Orlando, FL home, puts your children in a familiar environment. It allows for them to calm themselves and get into a position of confidence and control. This is their house, after all--nothing can be too bad. 

 

Plus they have all of their most comforting things around them. If they have exercises that require stairs, they can use the stairs in their own house. If they have exercises that involve them sitting while their legs are being manipulated, they can hold their most precious stuffed animal close to their chest while their legs are getting a workout. 

 

Add to that that their family is around. It’s not just a matter of being in a scary room with a physical therapist--you’ve got your mom right there, sitting in her regular chair. You’ve got siblings around that make everything seem so much more normal than anything they’ve experienced in a doctor’s office. Even having the family dog right there can lower the heart rate and keep your child calm and cool.
