THERAPY
Therapy is about teaching the body to feel new movements and positions, so that when their body is ready, they will know what to do.
OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PHYSICAL THERAPY MONTH
The American Physical Therapy Associations (APTA) theme for 2025 is “PT FOR FUTURE ME”.“Physical therapy helps children improve their movement, function, and overall health. Whether your child is recovering from an injury, managing chronic condition, or working to meet developmental milestones, physical therapy can make a meaningful difference.”
Evaluation & Treatment
The EVALUATION can be provided in the natural environment, such as the home, local parks and/or library and the TREATMENTS can be anywhere that will help the child reach their goals.The GOALS for physical therapy are developed with the collaboration of the parent, child and therapist.Therapy should be informative, interactive and FUN!
About me
Jennifer Ogawa
One of the best things I love about physical therapy is being able to help my clients progress from struggling with an activity and then with therapeutic play and practice, watch them becoming successful and smile.
One of the hardest things about pediatric physical therapy is having the right toy that the child likes to play with, so I can get the child to do the activity that will make them successful.
