Having a child or toddler miss certain developmental milestones can be stressful. For some mothers, mom guilt creeps in. However, early intervention in Tempe, AZ, provided by a caring, empathetic, and understanding doctor specializing in pediatric physical therapy, can provide your child with numerous engaging, fun activities that help to improve their flexibility, muscle strength, balance, coordination, and posture.

Moving and Grooving PT in Scottsdale, AZ, is owned and operated by Dr. Nikki Robinett, PT, DPT. She has been practicing pediatric physical therapy and helping parents and their babies with early intervention solutions for the past nine years. Dr Robinett’s goal is to help parents and toddlers with numerous private virtual pediatric physical therapy sessions that help to reduce wait times while giving parents much-needed support.

Dr. Nikki works alongside Dr. Sarah Cunningham, a licensed occupational therapist who has extensive experience helping babies, toddlers, children, teenagers, and adults in numerous settings. The two work together to define a pediatric physical therapy treatment plan uniquely tailored to their patient’s needs.

These treatment plans help Scottsdale, AZ, parents, and their children focus on specific muscles and limbs through engaging activities and stretches. Working with parents, our doctors use various physical and occupational therapy practices and strategies that help build confidence, assertiveness, and independence.

These pediatric physical therapy sessions can help treat various developmental issues. Whether it’s muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, plagiocephaly, hypertonia, tummy time difficulties, or torticollis, all can be effectively treated with pediatric physical therapy in Phoenix. The key is to provide your child with interactive, fun, child-friendly, in-home exercises that help them improve their gross motor skills.

Our pediatric therapy and services provide early intervention solutions for various developmental issues, including:

• Cerebral palsy

• Other developmental challenges

At Moving and Grooving PT in Scottsdale, AZ, we first start with a free consultation. Dr. Nikki will assess your child’s condition and diagnose their developmental issues. Afterward, a customized pediatric physical therapy plan will be developed for your child at home.

It's not just about providing a customized pediatric treatment plan that improves a child’s gross motor skills. It’s not just about exercises that have them using limbs they otherwise can’t or won’t. It’s ultimately about using stretches, fun exercises, massage, positioning, and education so that parents can engage their babies through teenagers with proven early intervention solutions. We also offer pediatric occupational therapy in Gilbert, AZ.

Our pediatric physical therapy services in Mesa, AZ, focus on early intervention due to its many benefits. First, early intervention allows us to identify the root cause of developmental problems quickly. With this, we can immediately adopt proactive therapy solutions that improve your child’s motor skills.

Second, early intervention and consistent treatment can help your child catch up with developmental milestones. This will not only help improve their motor skills, but it will help stave off more serious developmental issues in the future. Third, a child’s brain has high plasticity. This neural plasticity allows babies, toddlers and children to quickly develop new motor skills and behaviors when early intervention is adopted.

Additional benefits of early intervention include improving your child’s confidence, posture, balance, muscle strength, and coordination. All of these help your child engage in social activities, games, sports, and exercises with other children. In the end, early intervention is essential to improving your child’s quality of life.

To ensure all parents get the support and guidance they need, we provide multiple options for private pediatric physical therapy sessions, including virtual therapy or in-home visits.

By offering in-home and virtual pediatric therapy solutions, we minimize appointment wait times while maximizing follow-up efficiency. Frequent follow-ups help ensure progress and allow us to quickly adjust treatment plans as needed.

Within any pediatric physical therapy situation, the role of the family can never be overlooked. ‘Family’ can be beyond what we think of, representing more of our care network for our children and including nannies, babysitters, and even extended family. Your family provides critical support and care for your child as they go through each pediatric physical therapy exercise. That means fathers must support mothers, and siblings must also play their part in keeping babies, toddlers, and children engaged with the games, activities, exercises, and stretches that help with developmental issues.
