FYZICAL Coral Springs offers comprehensive Pediatric Physical Therapy

Our Pediatric FYZICAL Therapists provide skilled evaluation and treatment for children of all ages to help them achieve independent and functional mobility skills. The evaluation consists of a parent interview, standardized testing, informal assessment, and play-based interaction to determine the child’s current gross motor abilities.  Treatment sessions are individualized and focused on improving balance, postural strength, and motor skills. Home exercise programs are also provided to promote carryover of skills.
