Pediatric Physical Therapy

Pediatric Physical Therapy

Supporting Treasure Valley children's development through movement.

From playgrounds at Ann Morrison Park to youth sports leagues across the Treasure Valley, Boise's active kids sometimes need specialized physical therapy. Our pediatric program helps children achieve developmental milestones and overcome movement challenges.

We work with common conditions like toe walking (prevalent in Boise's many barefoot-friendly homes), sports injuries from local soccer and baseball programs, and developmental delays. Our clinic includes child-friendly equipment and spaces designed to make therapy engaging, with themes reflecting Boise landmarks like the Zoo Boise.

For school-aged children, we coordinate with Boise School District IEP teams when needed. We understand the physical demands of local schools - from navigating multiple floors at Boise High to carrying heavy backpacks across large campuses like Timberline High. Summer programs focus on preparing kids for active Idaho summers at camps and pools.
