Pediatric Mobility Issues in Bozeman

Pediatric Mobility & Walking Difficulties

Helping Children Improve Balance, Coordination, and Independence

Is your child struggling with walking, balance, or overall mobility? Difficulties with movement can impact a child’s ability to participate in daily activities, play with peers, and navigate different environments safely. Whether due to muscle weakness, neurological conditions, or developmental delays, early intervention can help children build the strength and coordination needed for greater independence.

At Root Pediatrics in Bozeman, we specialize in helping children improve their mobility, gait mechanics, and posture. Our personalized therapy plans focus on strengthening muscles, improving balance, and increasing confidence in movement.

Children experiencing mobility challenges may show signs such as:

• Walking on toes or with an unusual gait pattern
• Frequent tripping, stumbling, or falling
• Difficulty maintaining balance when standing or walking
• Poor coordination when climbing stairs, running, or jumping
• Weakness or fatigue during physical activities
• Need for assistive devices such as orthotics, braces, or walkers
