Physical Therapy Intensive

Overview

Caregivers often choose intensives when a child is close to a new skill and needs strengthening and repeated practice. Intensives can also help with post-operative strengthening and learning new motor patterns within one year of orthopedic surgery.

In our experience, criteria that result in the most progress made in an intensive therapy program include:

• Ability to commit to full attendance for 2-hour therapy sessions, 3 times per week for 5 weeks
• Physical and emotional endurance to work through 2 consecutive hours of therapy
• Cognitive ability to make choices for preferred activities and follow basic directions
• Motivation to move and play
