Why Physical Therapy is important for children post injury

Children involved in car accidents or falls can experience a wide range of injuries that may impact their physical development and overall quality of life. Physical therapy can be an essential part of the recovery process, helping children to regain their strength, mobility, and independence. At AMP PT, our experienced therapists specialize in pediatric physical therapy and can provide the care and support your child needs to achieve optimal recovery.

Here are some of the ways that physical therapy can help children involved in car accidents or falls:

Injury Assessment and Treatment
After a car accident or fall, it is important to seek medical attention to assess any injuries. If your child has sustained an injury, physical therapy can be an effective way to address the underlying issues and promote healing. At AMP PT, our therapists will work with your child to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals.

Developmental Delays
Children who have been involved in accidents or falls may experience developmental delays, such as delayed motor skills or cognitive impairments. Physical therapy can help to address these delays by promoting strength, coordination, and balance. Our therapists can work with your child to develop a plan that is tailored to their individual needs and supports their overall development.

Pain Management
Children involved in car accidents or falls may experience pain and discomfort as a result of their injuries. Physical therapy can help to alleviate these symptoms by promoting healing and improving circulation. Our therapists can also provide guidance on at-home exercises and strategies to manage pain and discomfort.

Emotional Support
The aftermath of a car accident or fall can be traumatic for children and their families. At AMP PT, we understand the importance of emotional support during the recovery process. Our therapists can provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to express their feelings and concerns, and can offer guidance on coping strategies and resources for families.
