At DMR Move, our team of pediatric therapists is dedicated to providing the best evidence-based and individualized interventions to help each child develop the skills they need to reach their full potential.
Pediatric therapy is a specialized branch of physical and/or occupational therapy that focuses on the needs of children and adolescents with various developmental, neurological, or orthopedic conditions. These conditions can affect the child’s ability to perform daily activities, participate in sports, or enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
When your child has an injury or pain, it can be frustrating and challenging to find the right provider for them. Here at DMR Move, our team of experts have extensive training in both pediatric rehabilitation and pain rehabilitation and can bring the two worlds together to help get your child back to being a kid!
Whether your child experiences chronic pain, sustained a sports injury, or was born with a condition that limits their physical movement and development, we are here to help!
Pain can affect children of all ages and abilities, and it can interfere with their daily activities, school performance, and emotional well-being. At DMR Move, we understand that pain management is an essential component of pediatric rehabilitation, and we treat every child as a human, not a machine.
Our team of experts in pediatric rehabilitation uses our innovative approach called the Human Rehabilitation Framework to help children with pain feel better and move better. This may include using gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and movements that are specific to the child’s unique needs. They also teach children and caregivers how to cope with pain and enjoy life more. We want to give your child the chance to feel and move better, and we will work with their individual goals to move them forward!
Playing sports is a great way for children to stay active and have fun, but it also comes with the risk of getting injured. Sports injuries can affect different parts of the child’s body, such as bones, muscles, joints, and ligaments. They can cause symptoms like pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Treating these injuries efficiently is essential to help your child return to sport quickly and safely. Our team of pediatric therapists can bridge the gap between sports injuries and pediatrics and will focus on creating a customized care plan that addresses each child’s specific needs. This may include restoring movement and strength, improving movement variability, as well as education for both the child and caregiver on strategies to reduce the risk for future injury.
At DMR Move, we believe that mobility is essential for children’s well-being and development. Mobility is the ability to move freely and easily in different situations and environments. Some children may face challenges with mobility due to conditions that affect their muscles, joints, nerves, or coordination.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to move with confidence and ease, and our goal is to work with each child and their caregivers to achieve that. Whether your child was born with a condition that limits their physical development or has suffered a recent injury, we are here to help them recover and get back to their daily activities. This may include using specific interventions based on each child’s unique needs or providing education to children and caregivers on how to use assistive devices or adaptive equipment if needed.
Children who need physical therapy can benefit from a variety of exercises that help them build strength, mobility, and endurance. These exercises are part of the personalized care plan that our licensed physical therapists create for each child.
Such exercises may include guided movements, aerobic activity, balance training, and coordination exercises. The exercises are adapted to each child’s specific needs and abilities to ensure that they achieve their maximum potential. Our physical therapists will teach the child and caregivers how to perform the exercises safely and effectively at home, creating the opportunity for them to move better and feel better!
Children who need occupational therapy can benefit from a variety of exercises that help them develop fine motor skills and functional abilities. These exercises are part of the personalized care plan that our licensed occupational therapists create for each child and can include hand-eye coordination tasks, sensory integration, and self-care tasks such as dressing and feeding.
These types of exercises help children with developmental, neurological, or physical disabilities to engage in daily activities and become more independent. Additionally, our occupational therapists will teach the child and caregivers how to perform the exercises safely and effectively at home, creating the opportunity for them to learn better and live better!
At DMR Move, we understand that each child is unique, and their condition requires a tailored approach to rehabilitation. That’s why we use the Human Rehabilitation Framework, which is a patient-centered approach that focuses on the whole person, not just their symptoms.
Our team of pediatric therapists assess every aspect of the child’s physical, emotional, and social well-being to develop a personalized care plan that meets their specific needs. We work closely with the child and their family to ensure they understand the goals of the treatment plan and the steps required to achieve them. With this approach, we can provide children with the best chance of success in their rehabilitation journey.
By using the Human Rehabilitation Framework, our pediatric therapists can achieve more efficient and effective treatment resulting in less referrals, medications, and future appointments.
Additionally, our approach emphasizes proactive treatment, which means that we identify and address potential issues before they become more significant problems. This can lead to faster recovery times and a shorter duration of therapy overall. This ultimately empowers them to return to their favorite activities and enjoy life.
If you have concerns about your child’s mobility, pain management, or injury, it is time to seek help from a professional. At DMR Move, we offer pediatric rehabilitation services that cater to each child’s specific needs, creating personalized care plans that lead to improved outcomes and quicker results. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and start your child’s journey towards achieving their fullest potential.
At DMR Move, we believe that therapy should be a blast for kids! Our awesome pediatric therapists know how to turn boring exercises into exciting games and adventures that kids can’t get enough of. They also become friends with the kids, making them feel happy and confident about their therapy.
Many kids can’t wait to come back and see their therapist again. By adding fun and variety to every session, our pediatric therapists keep kids hooked and eager to reach their goals.
We work with kids of all ages including newborns. It is never too early to seek help if you have concerns about your child’s development or mobility.
We don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to pediatric rehabilitation, so the number of sessions varies on the unique needs of each child.
To determine the need, our amazing team of pediatric therapists will assess the child’s condition and create a customized treatment plan that shows how many sessions they recommend. The number of sessions may depend on things like how serious the condition is, how old and healthy the child is, and what the therapy aims to achieve. We partner with the child and their family to make sure that the treatment plan works well for everyone and helps the child reach their full potential.

I’m so grateful for the services that DMR has provided to me. In the midst of this global crisis, I was very worried that I would not be able to access the health care services that I need. DMR’s Telehealth has helped me to maintain control of my health and continue my physical recovery without risking my or anyone else’s health. Thank you so much Leonard and everyone at DMR!
