When little ones explore the world around them with unbridled curiosity and boundless energy. It is during these early years that movement and play take center stage, laying the foundation for healthy development and lifelong learning.

​

At Krista Armstrong Physical Therapy, we believe that movement and play are essential for the physical development of young children, and they serve as the foundation of our pediatric physical therapy methodologies. Combined with skilled, evidence-based therapeutic interventions that facilitate optimal motor movement patterns, we create strong developmental foundation that can overcome musculoskeletal challenges and physical impairments. 

​

Play is not just a pastime; it is a powerful tool for cognitive growth and brain development in infants, toddlers, and young children. Through play, children learn valuable social and emotional skills that are essential for navigating relationships and understanding emotions. Unstructured play and freedom of movement allow for maximal learning and play a pivotal role in language and communication development.

​

In the tapestry of early childhood development, freedom of movement and play emerge as vibrant threads that weave together physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth. Unrestricted movement and optimal motor patterns also support our most vital life functions such as eating, sleeping, breathing, and waste elimination (peeing and pooping). At Krista Armstrong Physical Therapy, we focus on enhancing physical abilities, nurturing creativity and problem-solving to help infants, toddlers and young children overcome developmental challenges, movement restrictions, and physical impairments. We work closely with each individual child in a uniquely tailored treatment plan to improve their motor skills, enhance their overall quality of life, and increase their independence.
