Physical therapy
Structured, individualized exercise and movement therapy addressing strength, balance, and mobility across developmental and adult neurological care.
What it is & how it works
Physical therapy (PT) is structured, individualized exercise and movement therapy addressing strength, balance, gross-motor function, and mobility. In children, it is built around functional milestones (sitting, walking, stair use) rather than generic exercise routines.
How it's done
An initial assessment session typically runs about an hour; subsequent sessions generally run 30–60 minutes. Frequency ranges from weekly appointments to more intensive multiple-times-weekly sessions depending on the condition and goals, delivered by a licensed physiotherapist in a clinic, hospital, or home setting.

It shouldn't cause sharp or lasting pain when performed by a licensed therapist, though some soreness after stretching or strengthening exercises is common and expected as part of the process.
It varies by condition and goals — many patients attend one to two sessions weekly for several weeks to a few months, with the treating physiotherapist adjusting frequency based on progress.
