What We Treat
Pediatric physical therapy in Richardson.

Sound Familiar?
Have you noticed any of this?
- Your child falls or trips more often than other kids their age
- They move a little differently from their peers, or steer clear of certain physical skills
- Milestones like sitting, crawling or walking seem slower to arrive than you expected
- Stairs, playground equipment or games with friends look harder for them than they should
- A sports or play injury that isn’t bouncing back the way it should
- You keep asking yourself, “Is this normal?”
Any of these? It’s worth a conversation.
What We Work On
Every child moves on their own timeline.
Kids build movement skills one on top of another: sitting, crawling, walking, then running, jumping, climbing and keeping up with friends. When one piece is harder than it should be, the skills that depend on it can get harder too. Pediatric physical therapy looks at the pieces underneath, including developmental milestones and gross motor skills, balance and coordination, strength and functional mobility for daily life, play and sport, orthopedic needs and injuries, and movement challenges that come with neuromuscular conditions.
It starts with a cause-first evaluation. We watch how your child moves, plays and gets around, look at strength, balance and coordination, and listen to what you’re seeing at home. You know your child best, so you’re part of the process from the first visit.
On our team, Amber Maxwell, PTA has a special passion for pediatrics. Her pediatric experience has included developmental milestones, functional mobility, neuromuscular conditions, orthopedic needs, sensory considerations, and children who benefit from individualized approaches to communication and participation.

If you keep wondering

- Kids often find ways to work around what feels hard, and sit out the games that feel hardest

If you talk to our team
- You get a clear look at how your child moves: strength, balance, coordination and mobility
- Sessions are individualized and play-based, with you involved along the way
- You leave with a plan and simple things to practice at home between visits
You know your child better than anyone. If something about the way they move has you wondering, asking is the easiest first step. Call us at (972) 526-5693 or request an appointment above.
How Treatment Works
The same four phases. Built around play.
Every plan has an endpoint. Here’s what Pain, Prime, Perform and Prevent can look like for kids, with sessions shaped around your child and your family.
Step 2
Prime
Build the foundation.
Strength, balance, coordination and mobility, worked on through play and activities your child actually wants to do, so it feels less like exercise.
Step 3
Perform
Put it to work.
Practice the skills that matter for your child: getting around at home and school, keeping up on the playground, or getting back to their sport.
Step 4
Prevent
Keep it going at home.
You learn what to practice between visits and how to keep building on it, so progress carries into everyday life. That’s the endpoint.
