How long will physical therapy take?

This is a common question asked by many parents. Although the question itself is a simple one, the answer is much more difficult. Setting goals is the best way to achieve a successful rehabilitation outcome. When starting physical therapy, you must think what is it that you want your child to accomplish at the end of the program. The goals you set should be important to you and your child. However, they must also be realistic and attainable. Our physical therapist will then work with you to devise an appropriate treatment program for your child to help to achieve his/her rehabilitation goals.
