BRAINTREE, Mass. - BostonChron -- Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, a South Shore practice specializing in unique programs that provide comprehensive treatment in orthopedic, spine and sports medicine specialties, is offering a physical therapy intensive program at their Pediatric Center for the first time this summer.
The intensive program provides pediatric patients with one on one therapy with a pediatric physical therapist for one hour long sessions five days in a row. The unique model program is designed for infants through 12 year old patients with developmental conditions. Patients with congenital issues, significant developmental delays, cerebral palsy, autism and gross motor delays can benefit from the program. Research has shown that increased dosage of physical therapy can be very effective.
The Pediatric clinic located at 501 John Mahar Highway in Braintree opened last year and has recently added more square footage to accommodate patients. The clinic treats patients from newborns to young adults. The state-of-the-art clinic is outfitted with equipment that can rehabilitate a wide variety of conditions from neurological issues such as cerebral palsy and spinal cord issues. In addition they treat developmental delays, torticollis, gait disorders, genetic disorders and more. They are also able to do equipment evaluations. Specialized equipment includes light gait ambulation system and a suspension balance system.
