October is Physical Therapy Awareness Month, and at Move U, we’re celebrating in a big way. For a limited time, new pediatric physical therapy clients can book their first session for just $99 (normally $220). This is the perfect opportunity to experience how pediatric PT can transform your child’s development, help them reach milestones, and set the stage for lifelong movement success.

Whether your child is working to roll, sit, crawl, walk, or refine advanced skills like balance and coordination, our pediatric physical therapy services can provide the support they need.

Why Pediatric Physical Therapy Matters

Childhood is full of milestones—big and small. For many families, watching their child roll over, sit up independently, take their first steps, or join in play with peers is a moment of joy and pride. But sometimes, these milestones don’t come as quickly or as easily as expected. That’s where pediatric physical therapy (PT) comes in.

Pediatric PT focuses on improving a child’s strength, balance, coordination, posture, and movement patterns. With guidance and intervention, children can overcome challenges, reduce risks of long-term complications, and gain the confidence to explore the world around them.

At Move U, we believe that movement is more than just physical—it’s the foundation for growth, independence, and play.

Common Reasons Children Benefit from Pediatric PT

We work with children of all ages and abilities. Some of the most common concerns we treat include:

1. Torticollis

Torticollis is when a baby’s head consistently tilts or turns to one side, often due to tight neck muscles. Left untreated, it can cause head flattening (plagiocephaly) or impact overall movement development. Early PT intervention can help restore flexibility, improve head control, and set your baby up for success with motor milestones.

2. Low Muscle Tone or Weakness

Children with conditions like Down syndrome or general hypotonia (low muscle tone) often need extra support to strengthen their muscles and stabilize their joints. Pediatric PT helps build strength, endurance, and coordination through fun, play-based exercises—empowering children to participate more fully in play, school, and sports.

3. Developmental Milestone Support

From crawling to climbing, walking to jumping, every child’s motor journey looks different. If your child is delayed in reaching milestones or struggles with movements like balancing, standing, or running, PT can help. By breaking down skills into manageable steps and practicing them through play, children develop strength and confidence in their abilities.
