Core Kids Pediatric Physical Therapy

Pediatric physical therapy supports children developing gross motor skills through strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, motor planning, and postural endurance work. Services can address injuries or developmental delays, including difficulty jumping, running, using stairs, walking without falling, handling a ball, balancing, and sitting at a table. Treatment areas include mobility, body awareness, posture, flexibility, endurance, and general development. Core Kids also treats children with global developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, genetic syndromes, neuromuscular disorders, tone differences, toe-walking, and gait abnormalities. A physician referral or specific diagnosis is not required to begin. The division is located in Chicago and offers short-term therapy when appropriate.
