Rising Stars Pediatric Physical Therapy 395 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, NJ 07052

Welcome to Rising Stars Pediatric Physical Therapy, where we are dedicated to helping children reach their full potential through specialized physical therapy services. Located at 395 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, New Jersey, our clinic focuses on the developmental milestones essential for every child's growth, such as rolling, crawling, and walking.

At Rising Stars, we understand the importance of gross motor skills, which involve the large muscles in the arms, legs, and torso. Our experienced therapists work closely with families to teach them how to support their child's journey toward achieving these milestones. We create personalized exercises and therapy sessions that benefit not only the child but also their family, fostering a supportive environment for growth.

Balance is a crucial aspect of physical development, and we offer targeted interventions for children experiencing balance issues, whether standing or sitting. Our goal is to improve muscle strength, coordination, and balance, aiding children in mastering everyday activities like walking, jumping, and climbing stairs.

We also focus on gait biomechanics, ensuring efficient movement patterns that contribute to the smooth progression of motor skills. Our therapy can greatly benefit children with walking abnormalities, such as toe-walking or in-toeing, by addressing issues like ankle mobility, leg muscle weakness, and balance difficulties.

Core strength is vital for a child's overall development, providing essential support for both active and quiet activities. We emphasize the early development of core stability, which is essential for achieving milestones like walking, running, and sitting upright. By cultivating core strength, we help children gain independence and succeed in various physical activities.

Our services also address the integration of primitive reflexes, which are foundational movement patterns present at birth. Unintegrated reflexes can lead to developmental delays, affecting attention, posture, and coordination. By assisting in the integration of these reflexes, we support children in overcoming challenges and growing effectively.

In addition to developmental therapy, we offer rehabilitation for children recovering from orthopedic injuries, surgeries, and sports-related injuries. Our physical therapy services focus on restoring mobility, managing pain, and preventing secondary complications, ensuring a comprehensive recovery process.

Motor planning is another key area of our expertise. We help children with motor planning difficulties improve their ability to plan and execute skilled motor tasks, enhancing their coordination and reducing clumsiness in new activities.
