We use age-appropriate, play-based therapy to restore strength, range of motion, balance, and movement control—so kids can safely return to school, sports, and play. Care is available in Washington and Odon, Indiana, and families visit us from across Southern Indiana.
Schedule an evaluation if your child has:
For head injury or dizziness after sport, see Pediatric Concussion Rehabilitation.
If your child needs a custom brace/splint for the upper extremity, see Custom Splinting.
Our pediatric physical therapists design individualized, sport-aware plans that match your child’s age, goals, and provider instructions. Therapy may include:
When appropriate, we coordinate with orthopedics, pediatricians, school personnel, coaches, and athletic trainers to support a safe and confident return.
We review the injury history, physician/surgeon instructions, sport demands, and your child’s goals. We assess range of motion, strength, balance, movement quality, and sport-specific tasks (as appropriate).
Together, we set clear goals and a visit schedule. Sessions are active and engaging—using age-appropriate drills and games to rebuild capacity and confidence. You’ll receive a simple home plan that fits your family’s routine.
We measure outcomes, update the plan as your child improves, and follow clearance guidance from your surgeon/orthopedist. Our goal is a strong, safe return to sport—and a plan to help prevent re-injury.
Early, guided rehab can help kids get back faster—and reduce the risk of sitting out again.
