Many different illnesses or conditions may delay or interrupt normal development of a child’s motor skills, such as sitting alone, crawling, or walking. Here at CTS, we understand that the needs of children and their families are unique and we develop an individual treatment plan designed especially for each child to meet their needs. Our team evaluates a child using standardized tests and then develops an age-appropriate rehabilitation plan specific to the child’s needs.

The Physical Therapy staff at CTS offers assessment and treatment focusing on improving mobility, posture, balance, gait, coordination, muscle strengthening, range of motion, attaining developmental milestones, and use of adaptive equipment. Physical therapists at CTS incorporate treatment using Neurodevelopment treatment, myofascial therapy, sensory integration, therapeutic exercise and gait training to meet the child’s goals.

Our therapists work out of our new Occupational/Physical Therapy clinic and gym at our main office in Richardson. The treatment gym provides the child a safe, challenging and fun atmosphere to help the child achieve gross motor skills. Treatment equipment includes a child’s rock climbing wall, various sensory stimulation swings, a pillow pit, trampoline, and much more.

Involving the family in the child’s treatment program is of utmost importance to the staff at CTS.
