This statistic is important because not only can physical therapists treat a variety of injuries such as ankle sprains, shoulder injuries, or elbow fractures, but here at Pediatric Achievements we can also work on injury prevention!
Our pediatric physical therapists can work on improving your child’s coordination needed for sports, strength, endurance, control, flexibility, and balance. It is important to be equipped in these areas to prevent an injury before it occurs. Other orthopedic conditions that we treat include:
