Pediatric Physical Therapy
Helping Children Build Strength, Coordination and Independence
At Exeter Hospital, our pediatric physical therapy team specializes in helping children overcome challenges with motor development, mobility, balance, strength, coordination and endurance. We work closely with children and their families to promote independence and active participation at home, school, in the community and during recreational activities — helping them keep up with their peers in a safe, pain-free way.
