Pediatric physical therapy in Lebanon at K1ds Count Therapy is built around your child’s needs.
Our therapists work with kids from birth through age 21 to build strength, sharpen coordination, and grow independence at home, at school, and out in the community.
Every session uses play-based, evidence-informed techniques so your child is having fun while making real progress.
Every child’s plan starts with a thorough evaluation, where our therapists take the time to understand your child’s current abilities, challenges, and the goals that matter most to your family. From there, we build a treatment plan tailored to your child, complete with regular reassessments so we can track progress and adjust course whenever it’s needed.
Our physical therapists stay closely connected with parents and caregivers throughout the process, sharing updates, home exercises, and practical tips so progress doesn’t stop when the session ends. We also work hand-in-hand with our occupational therapy, speech therapy, ABA therapy, and mental health teams here in Lebanon, so your child benefits from a truly coordinated approach to care.
K1ds Count Therapy is proud to serve families throughout Lebanon and the surrounding communities with dedicated, team-based pediatric physical therapy.
Children reach mobility milestones on a fairly predictable timeline, starting with rolling, crawling, and walking in infancy. As kids get older, mobility shifts toward skills like climbing stairs, navigating uneven terrain, and building the speed and stamina to keep up with peers.
Your KCT physical therapist will pinpoint which mobility skills need attention and can also recommend assistive equipment, like walkers, gait trainers, or standers, when appropriate.
Balance is what keeps your child upright and steady while standing, walking, and changing direction. It depends on three sensory systems working together: vision, the somatosensory system, and the vestibular system.
When one of these systems isn’t functioning as it should, balance often suffers. Our therapists identify the root cause of balance challenges and design targeted strategies to help.
Functional strength shows up in everyday movement, how a child gets up off the floor, climbs stairs, or transitions between positions.
In infants, strength is often assessed through the positions they can hold or move through. In older kids, uneven strength between the left and right sides of the body can signal areas that need extra attention, and our therapists build interventions around those findings.
Healthy joints need a full, age-appropriate range of motion to move efficiently. Tightness in the ankles, hamstrings, or hips is common in children and can get in the way of major milestones like crawling, jumping, and climbing stairs.
Our physical therapists assess ROM and use targeted stretching and mobility work to help your child move more freely.
Gross motor skills rely on the big muscle groups—the trunk, arms, and legs—working together for whole-body movements like walking, running, and jumping. These skills combine balance, strength, and body awareness, and they develop on a general age-based timeline.
When a child falls behind on age-appropriate gross motor skills, our therapists step in with targeted intervention to help close the gap.
Pain, whether from an injury or a chronic condition, can affect a child physically and emotionally.
Our physical therapists are trained to address pain through movement-based strategies, manual therapy, evidence-based modalities, and education for the whole family, always working alongside other providers to support your child’s overall well-being.
Gait training helps a child develop or relearn a safe, functional walking pattern, whether they’re taking their first independent steps or recovering from an injury or surgery.
Our team meets each child exactly where they are, using specialized equipment and hands-on support to build confidence and control while walking.
Our physical therapists are skilled at recognizing when a custom or off-the-shelf orthotic could improve a child’s mobility, balance, or gait.
We coordinate closely with physicians and certified orthotists to select the right device, and we work alongside prosthetists to support gait, balance, and strength training for children using prosthetic devices.
Good posture supports efficient, pain-free movement whether your child is sitting, standing, or walking. Left unaddressed, poor postural habits can put extra strain on muscles and joints over time.
Our therapists assess posture and recommend targeted exercises or supports to help your child move more comfortably and efficiently.
Our physical therapists stay current through ongoing, state-required continuing education, and K1ds Count Therapy invests in that growth with an annual CEU stipend for every therapist.
Our team also participates in regular in-house learning sessions to make sure every child benefits from the most current, evidence-based approaches available.
Pediatric physical therapy helps children build strength, balance, coordination, and overall movement skills. At K1ds Count Therapy in Lebanon, we work with children from birth through age 21 to support motor development so they can move confidently at home, at school, and in the community.
Signs that your child may benefit from physical therapy include delayed motor milestones, frequent falls, low muscle tone, weakness, or noticeable trouble keeping up physically with peers. Some families are referred by a pediatrician, while others simply notice a concern on their own. An evaluation is the best way to know for sure.
Our Lebanon physical therapy team works with children experiencing gross motor delays, coordination challenges, genetic and neurological conditions, sports-related injuries, toe walking, and recovery after surgery or a hospital stay. Every plan of care is customized to the child in front of us.
The first visit is a full evaluation covering your child’s strength, balance, coordination, and movement patterns. We’ll talk through your concerns and goals as a family, then put together a personalized treatment plan that includes strategies to practice at home between sessions.
Most sessions run between 30 and 60 minutes. The right frequency depends on your child’s specific needs and goals. Your therapist will recommend a schedule after the initial evaluation, adjusting it over time as your child progresses.
Physical therapy focuses on gross motor skills like walking, running, balance, and strength. Occupational therapy focuses more on fine motor skills, sensory processing, and daily living tasks. Our Lebanon team works across both disciplines so your child gets connected, well-rounded care.
Yes. Physical therapy can support children as they work toward major milestones such as rolling, sitting up, crawling, and walking. Starting early often leads to stronger movement patterns and more confident progress.
Many insurance plans, along with Medicaid and managed care plans, cover medically necessary pediatric physical therapy. Coverage details vary by plan, and our Lebanon team can help verify your benefits and walk you through your options before your child’s first visit.
