Pediatric Physical Therapy
in Birmingham, AL, & Houston, TX
Hands-On Therapy for Functional Progress
Does your baby struggle to roll, sit, or crawl? Does your toddler tip‑toe, tire quickly, or tumble more than their friends? It’s natural to worry if movement milestones feel out of reach, but the right guidance can make a world of difference.
At PhysioBaby Therapy & Wellness, our manual‑therapy specialists work with parents to help infants and young children build the strength, balance, and coordination they need to explore their worlds. Visit us in Birmingham, AL, or let us come to you in Houston, TX, and together we’ll give your child the freedom to move with confidence.
What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy supports a child’s ability to move, play, and interact with the world around them. At PhysioBaby, we look at the whole child—from their head shape and muscle tone to their developmental skills and how their nervous system is functioning.
We help children build strength, flexibility, and healthy movement patterns that are essential for all the daily activities that growing bodies need to master. And while our physical therapy sessions are fun and playful, they are also focused on addressing these key functional skills through proven, hands-on techniques.
What Pediatric Physical Therapy Can Address
If your child struggles with movement, physical therapy can help. We commonly work with children experiencing:
- Delayed motor milestones (not rolling, crawling, sitting, or walking on time)
- Torticollis or head tilt
- Flat head shape (plagiocephaly)
- Low muscle tone or poor postural control
- Toe-walking or abnormal walking patterns
- Tight muscles or decreased flexibility
- Poor balance and coordination
- Pain or tension from birth trauma
- Neuromotor challenges
- Feeding challenges
- Pre- & post- frenectomy care
- Digestive issues (Reflux)
Many of our therapists also have significant hospital experience working with medically fragile infants, which gives us the skills necessary to support their more complex needs in therapy.
Our Approach to Pediatric Physical Therapy
At PhysioBaby, we believe you have to address the body’s structure before you can improve its function. That means we begin by gently releasing any restrictions in your child’s muscles, fascia, or joints so their body can move the way it was meant to.
We don’t just work on your child, we work with you, too. We take time to explain what we see, why it matters, and how you can support your child’s progress between sessions. We believe every parent deserves to understand their child’s body and feel confident helping them grow.
