Pediatric physical therapy plays a pivotal role in addressing muscle weakness or low muscle tone in children, aiming to bolster their strength and stability essential for mastering gross motor skills. By targeting these specific muscular challenges, therapists work to enhance a child’s ability to perform fundamental activities like walking, running, climbing stairs, getting up from the floor, and jumping.
Through tailored exercises and interventions, therapists systematically build strength and endurance, empowering children to navigate their physical environment with increased confidence and proficiency. This specialized therapy not only focuses on addressing muscle weaknesses but also cultivates the necessary foundation for children to achieve their developmental milestones in gross motor skills.
