Pediatric Physical Therapy In Lafayette, CO

Help Your Child Move, Play, and Grow with Confidence

When a child has difficulty with strength, coordination, balance, walking, or movement confidence, everyday activities can feel harder than they should.

At MotionWorks PT, we treat children ages 6 and older with active, individualized, goal-oriented pediatric physical therapy. We help children and teens recover from sports injuries and address movement challenges related to congenital and developmental conditions, balance and coordination deficits, and strength and mobility limitations. Our team works closely with families in Lafayette, CO to create age-appropriate treatment plans focused on the activities that matter to each child, including daily routines, school, play, and sports.

What We Treat with Pediatric Physical Therapy

Our pediatric care for children ages 6 and older focuses on four areas:

Sports injuries: Care for sprains, strains, and overuse injuries, including post-injury rehabilitation, strength deficits, and return-to-sport training.
Congenital and developmental conditions: Helping children address movement, strength, balance, coordination, gait, and functional limitations.
Balance and coordination deficits: Improving stability, body awareness, motor control, and confidence in age-appropriate activities.
Strength and mobility limitations: Individualized care to enhance mobility, functional strength, flexibility, and participation in daily activities.

How Our Pediatric Physical Therapy Works

Our pediatric therapy is active, individualized, and goal-oriented. We begin by evaluating your child’s movement, strength, mobility, balance, coordination, gait, and functional abilities. Together with your child and family, we set goals based on the daily activities, play, or sports your child wants to participate in more confidently.

Treatment often includes:

Comprehensive Pediatric Movement Evaluation
Strength And Mobility Assessment
Balance And Coordination Training
Gait And Walking Pattern Analysis
Functional Play-Based Movement Activities
Sports-Specific Rehabilitation And Return-To-Sport Training

Sessions emphasize active participation through age-appropriate exercises, guided movement, and functional activities. Each plan is tailored to your child’s abilities and goals, with activities adjusted as skills develop. Care may focus on recovering after a sports injury, improving stability and body awareness, building functional strength and flexibility, or practicing movement skills for home, school, play, and sports.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your child’s first visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation of strength, mobility, balance, coordination, walking patterns, and functional movement. We listen to your concerns, discuss your child’s activity goals, and identify the movements or skills that may be limiting confidence or participation. Treatment may include strengthening, balance activities, coordination exercises, gait training, mobility work, sport-specific drills, or guided play-based movement. As your child improves, exercises are adjusted to keep therapy safe, engaging, and appropriately challenging.
