KIDSPIRATION PHYSICAL THERAPY
Kidspiration Physical Therapy specializes in helping children of all abilities to improve their gross motor performance, fitness and wellness.

AN INNOVATIVE MODEL FOR PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY
Kidspiration integrates the best aspects of clinic based therapy and the theory of natural environments in the treatment of children with special needs.
In a child’s world, playing is learning. It is their primary mode of exploring their environment. Addressing the physical needs of children with special needs while in their natural environments can have a positive, powerful impact on functional abilities.

Where are these natural environments? They are ANY PLACE a child may go to play, learn and grow … including the home, playground, pool, beach and even the grocery store. Here children have a chance to apply the skills that have been practiced in the clinic. The therapist acts as a facilitator and observer. Natural environment sessions help the therapist to pinpoint specific areas to address during the clinic sessions, such as balance, coordination, bilateral skills or trunk strengthening.

The clinic setting is instrumental in helping children improve function. In this more controlled environment, the therapist presents activities that foster the acquisition of functional motor skills.

AN INTEGRATED PRACTICE
Kidspiration’s physical therapy sessions are, in a word...DIFFERENT. Children are treated holistically in both their natural environments as well as in the clinic. An individualized program is created to meet each child’s unique needs in a fun, caring environment. Our goal is to provide as many opportunities as possible to gain greater function and independence.
