Physical Therapy

What is Physical Therapy?
A Physical Therapist (PT) uses knowledge and skills specifically related to motor and self-care function, assistive technology, and medical/ health care science. They help children with balance, movement, and other activities involving the large muscles of the body. A PT works on gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling and walking. They can also assist in making recommendations for adaptive equipment that might be needed for proper body alignment and positioning.
Our Approach
STARS has a dedicated team of therapists that are committed to providing your child and family with quality early intervention services. STARS’ therapists are state licensed and/or hold a Bachelor, Master, or Doctorate degree in their area of expertise. Continuing education is essential and all therapists are required to complete at least 24 hours of training each year. At STARS, we recognize that parents and caregivers know their children better than anyone, and are committed to making family/caregivers an integral part of treatment sessions.
