Pediatric Physical Therapy

Explore Pediatric Physical Therapy at Infinity & Beyond in Lake Zurich, IL. See if your child might benefit from our PT services and learn about our approach.

You might ask, “What exactly does pediatric physical therapy involve?” When we think of physical therapy, we often picture sports injuries or rehabilitation after surgery. But for children, physical therapy is so much more—it’s about empowering them to move confidently through all stages of growth and development.

In this context, your child’s “movement” is the key to unlocking their independence and ability to explore the world around them.

For children, movement includes:

  • Gross motor skills like crawling, walking, and running
  • Balance and coordination to safely interact with their environment
  • Strength and flexibility to support all physical activities
  • And most importantly—play!

We use a child-centered, whole-body approach to help children build the strength, coordination, and mobility they need for everyday life.
