Pediatric physical therapists are specifically trained to improve the lives and daily function of children who suffer from a wide range of injuries and congenital conditions. The role of a pediatric therapist is to work with the child and their family to assist each child to reach their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation at home, in school, and in the community. Pediatric patients range from infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to teenage competitive athletes, specifically 0 to 18 years of age, and young adults with childhood disorders.

Nav Chetan Special Education Early Intervention Therapeutic Centre team of physical therapists is dedicated to providing customized one-on-one care that helps children with developmental, neuromuscular and orthopaedic conditions to restore and enhance their development and enable them to participate in desired age appropriate family, community and school-based activities. Our clinicians utilize therapies in a play-based environment that can help children increase their strength, balance, coordination and motor skills.
