Helping Children Move, Grow, and Thrive
At the New Jersey Pediatric Neuroscience Institute (NJPNI), we understand how vital physical development is to your child’s overall health and happiness. Our pediatric physical therapy services are designed to support infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents with mobility, strength, posture, and coordination — helping them reach important milestones and enjoy everyday life to the fullest.
What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy focuses on evaluating and treating children with motor delays or physical challenges caused by injury, neurological conditions, developmental disorders, or musculoskeletal conditions. At NJPNI, our experienced therapists use evidence-based techniques to improve your child’s movement and independence in a fun, encouraging environment.
