About our Pediatric Physical Therapy Services:
Our pediatric physical therapists (PTs) work with children and their families to assist each child in overcoming physical challenges to allow them to reach their maximum potential and to promote active participation in home, school, and community environments. Our PT team is comprised of highly skilled and empathic therapists that use evidence-informed practice, clinical expertise, and family priorities/ preferences/ concerns to create a plan that will meet each child’s individual needs and goals.
At In2Great! Pediatric Therapies:
Our physical therapy team has expertise in movement, motor development, and body function (e.g., strength and endurance). Our physical therapy team applies clinical reasoning during our individualized evaluations and interventions for infants, toddlers, children, youth, and young adults. As primary health care providers of pediatric physical therapy in the Chicago suburbs, our physical therapists are happy to collaborate with other medical, educational, developmental and rehabilitation professionals.
Our Physical Therapy Specialists:
Our PTs have a broad knowledge of the developmental principles of typical development from the first twelve months of life with respect to understanding how atypical development evolves and can be addressed and minimized. They have advanced and specialized training in but not limited to NDT (neuro developmental treatment), TMR (Total Motion Release), MFR (Myofascial Release), RI (Reflex Integration), kinesiotaping and serial casting.
