Blooming Steps Physical Therapy

After spending time this past weekend (Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy Conference) with these brave kids and amazing group of fellow Physical Therapists - I’m overjoyed. Feel so fortunate that we get to unite and celebrate their achievements. The reward I/we feel as therapist to be part of their journey is immeasurable. #pediatricphysicaltherapy #apptac #physicaltherapy #disney #youareamazing #sobrave

Reasons to Consult a Pediatric Physical Therapist #4: Your child / teenager is complaining of pain when playing sports. This can be due to multiple reasons but some of the most common reasons are muscle tightness and/or uneven muscle strength around the specific joint or area where the pain is stemming from. It is best to resolve this as early as possible to avoid further injury to other areas. #shermanoakspt #shermanoaks #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #learningtowalk #learningtocrawl #crawling #cruising #babytips #pediatric #pediatricphysicaltherapist #babysteps #babyfood #babydiapers #diapers #momsofig #babies #bloomingsteps #bspt #backtoschool #harvardwestlake #physicaleducation #kidsgym #kidspe #peclass

Reasons to consult a Pediatric Physical therapist #3: baby hates tummy time. This can be due to one sided weakness in the neck muscles, upper body weakness, or poor positioning. It can also simply be due to the baby not wanting to work hard. It is important to expose the baby to tummy time for at least 5-6 times a day. This should be done either on the floor with a mat under the baby or on the exercise ball so the baby can push with his/her arms to lift his/her chest up. It is important to remember that babies learn from repetition and consistency.

We have Dr. Vartanian on deck volunteering at Carpenter Elementary School today at the track meet to teach the kids about the importance of stretching to avoid injuries!

Q: What is the importance of consulting with a Pediatric Physical Therapist? A: There are many reasons why a parent would consult with a pediatric physical therapist. One of the many would be as simple as their child showing clumsiness. This can be due to core or one sided weakness, or motor planning issues. By having your child work on his/her weakness, it can result in increase confidence and increase participation in activities. Pediatric PT's work with children from i...nfancy to adolescence and their families to assist each child in reaching their maximum potential to function independently and to promote active participation in all environments. #discoverykids #shermanoaks #learningtoys #learntocrawl #smallbusiness #shermanoaksmoms #shermanoaksparents #shermanoaks #pediatric #physicaltherapy #therapyforbabies #babytoys #babypresents #springbabies #fisherprice #vtech #nurseryfarm #learningtoys #crawlalong #learn2crawl #crawlingtricks #babytricks #babytips #bloomingsteps #bloomingstepsphysicaltherapy #learntowalk See more
