LLA Therapy’s skilled team of physical therapists work with children and educate their families to assist them in reaching their maximum potential in motor performance and to promote safe, functional independence when navigating their environments at home, school, and in the community.
Together, we will create specific goals and collaborate to reach them through detailed evaluation and consistent therapy. Our therapists can help children minimize the effect injuries, disease, or developmental disabilities have on a child’s ability to function.
