Pediatric Physical Therapy in Denver
Pediatric Physical Therapy at CTSC
During childhood, movement and physical development form the foundation of how children explore, learn, and participate in their world. From crawling and walking to jumping, balancing, and playing sports, physical activity is a child’s work. At CTSC, our Pediatric Physical Therapists assess and treat the physical challenges that may interfere with a child’s ability to move confidently and independently throughout their day. We use a whole-child approach that considers the child’s unique needs and works closely with families to help children reach their full physical potential.
MOVEMENT-BASED THERAPY MODEL
Movement is a key occupation of childhood and is central to learning, play, and daily function. We use engaging, play-centered activities to target developmental milestones and build strength, coordination, and mobility in a fun and motivating way.
EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT APPROACH
Our therapists use treatment models that are considered Evidence-Based Best Practices. Every child’s therapy plan is personalized and backed by the latest research in pediatric physical therapy.
POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
We believe in motivating children through encouragement and celebrating small wins. Our therapists use positive reinforcement to make therapy fun, rewarding, and goal-driven—helping kids stay engaged and excited about their progress.
TELEHEALTH/IN-PERSON SESSIONS
We recognize that sometimes families can’t make it to our Northglenn, CO clinic. That’s why we offer flexible Telehealth Physical Therapy sessions, which are endorsed as effective by the American Medical Association and help maintain consistency in care when in-person visits aren’t possible.

Our Process
step 01
Phone Consult
Complimentary phone consultations are designed to understand more about your child’s unique situation and determine if they would benefit from a comprehensive evaluation.
step 02
Evaluation
Your child will complete a comprehensive evaluation that involves standardized testing, questionnaire, observation and a thorough review of your case history with a caregiver or parent present.
step 03
Recommendations
Once the assessment is complete, we will go over findings and provide recommendations for on-going therapy and answer any questions you may have.
step 04
Therapy
Treatment is designed to meet your child where they are at today and then follow a designed care plan to achieve the goals needed to “graduate” and complete therapy. Services can be provided in-home for Early Intervention clients or at our convenient Northglenn, CO office location for all others.
step 05
Progress Check Ups
We believe that regular communication regarding your child’s progress is important throughout the therapeutic process to keep everyone updated on progress and ensure carryover at home. Our therapists will provide a brief update on how the session went after each appointment and are always available via email or phone to discuss any questions you may have.
step 06
Graduate from Services
Once your child has mastered all of their therapy goals and they are functioning at their appropriate age level, your child will “Graduate” from services at CTSC and be discharged. Your child will have blossomed and they will move forward and thrive! We will always be available in the future for any concerns that may arise with your child - you are now part of the CTSC family.
