Pediatric Physical Therapy at CTSC

Children’s physical therapy can help your child develop movement skills for play, school, and everyday routines. Our pediatric physical therapists assess and treat physical challenges that may make those activities harder, with care based on your child’s individual needs and goals. 

MOVEMENT-BASED THERAPY MODEL

We use play-based activities to help children practice movement skills in meaningful ways. For example, a ball game may support coordination, balance, participation, and turn-taking while keeping the activity engaging.

EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT APPROACH

Our therapists use evidence-based treatment approaches informed by pediatric research and clinical experience.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT

We motivate children through encouragement and celebrate small wins. Positive reinforcement makes practice rewarding as your child works toward their goals.

TELEHEALTH/IN-PERSON SESSIONS

In-person appointments take place at our Northglenn clinic. Ask our team whether telehealth is currently available and appropriate for your child’s needs.

Our Process

step 01

Phone Consult

During a complimentary phone consultation, tell us what you’re noticing and which activities are difficult for your child. We’ll talk through your concerns and help determine whether an evaluation is an appropriate next step.

Evaluation

You or another caregiver stays with your child during the evaluation. Your therapist reviews their history and a parent questionnaire, observes how they move, and uses structured movement assessments to identify strengths and areas where support may help.

Recommendations

Your therapist explains the findings and answers your questions. If children’s physical therapy is recommended, you’ll discuss practical goals, such as getting up from the floor or using stairs, and a care plan based on those priorities.

Therapy

Treatment starts with what your child can do today. Your therapist breaks movement goals into manageable steps and adjusts activities and support as your child practices. Sessions follow the care plan developed from the evaluation.

Progress Check-Ups

Your therapist shares a brief update after each appointment and can suggest ways to practice at home. You can share what’s getting easier or still feels difficult between visits. Those observations help guide adjustments to the plan.

We review your child’s progress and ongoing needs with you before deciding whether it’s time to end therapy. We’ll provide guidance on maintaining skills at home, and you can contact us if new movement concerns arise.
