Wyoming Valley Children’s Association’s Physical Therapists, licensed by the state of Pennsylvania, evaluate gross motor skills including muscle strength, rolling, sitting, standing, walking, transitions, balance and coordination. Treatment strategies include, but are not limited to, neurodevelopmental techniques, range of motion exercises, stretching, gait training, strengthening, transfer training, balance/coordination activities, motor planning and gross motor activities.

Positioning is also a key component of Physical Therapy at WVCA. Recommendations for appropriate positioning equipment such as strollers, wheelchairs, chair inserts and other equipment are made to the family in order to ensure that the child is positioned properly to prevent contractures and optimize function.
