Coping With The Completion Of Pediatric Physical Therapy Center

It can often be difficult after a long bout of pediatric physical therapy to move on to an independent program. This can be for many reasons including disruption of a routine that the family is already accustomed to, anxiety over continuing with exercises learned during therapy, not fully understanding the reason for discharge and possibly the feeling of “giving up”. All of these are natural feelings at the time of discharge and can be alleviated with education and a good understanding as to why the child is being discharged.
