Infant physical therapy and bodywork is a gentle, individualized, hands-on and movement-based approach designed to support an infant's comfort, postural alignment, symmetrical movement, and functional development.

Our pediatric physical therapist evaluates and addresses musculoskeletal tension, movement restrictions, and asymmetrical movement patterns that may affect an infant's ability to comfortably participate in feeding, positioning, tummy time, play, and early motor skill development.

Through gentle manual techniques, therapeutic movement, positioning strategies, and caregiver education, we help infants build the foundational movement skills needed to explore their world.

When appropriate, we collaborate with speech-language pathologists, lactation professionals, and other healthcare providers to support the whole infant and their functional needs.

Your baby may struggle with any of the following, and a PT evaluation may help:

• Head control and postural development

• Gross motor skill development

• Upper-extremity use and bilateral coordination

• Cranial and facial symmetry

• Feeding and oral-motor function

• Sensory exploration and environmental interaction

Our Flight Physical Therapist can help support your child’s development through the important journey from:

SITTING → CRAWLING → STANDING → WALKING

We work with infants and toddlers who may be experiencing:
• Delayed gross motor milestones
• Difficulty with sitting or transitioning between positions
• Crawling challenges
• Body tension or asymmetry
• Torticollis or positional preferences
• Difficulty pulling to stand or cruising
• Delayed independent walking

We look at the whole movement pattern and help build the foundational strength, mobility, coordination, and confidence needed for the next step.
