Our physical therapists work with patients to improve and restore the involved areas in order to enhance overall function.

Programs may include stretching exercises, light resistance exercises, balance exercises, aerobic activities, general conditioning, and developmental activities. Some exercises or activities may be limited or modified, depending on the child's medical status, especially their platelet count.

Physical therapists provide consultation in the clinic, as well as direct intervention when appropriate. When necessary, children can be referred for physical therapy at Children's Hospital Boston, or to facilities within the community.

Please speak with your child's doctor or nurse practitioner if you feel your child may benefit from physical therapy, and an appointment can be scheduled.
