Welcome, Julia! 🌟🧡💚

📸 PT Team Update: Nobody Gets Left Behind! 💚🧡

Please help us give a warm welcome to our newest DPT, Julia (pictured on the left)! 🎉

And because we're one big family around here, we couldn't possibly leave anyone out. When we realized Monica D. wasn't in the original PT team photo, our talented in-house designer, Alexis, worked her magic and made sure Monica was included too!

Welcome, Julia, and cheers to our amazing PT team. We're grateful to work with such a dedicated, talented, and fun group of professionals. 💚🧡

Is your child the one who can do all the party tricks — splits, bending their thumbs back, or showing off super flexible joints? 🤸‍♀️
Kids are naturally more flexible than adults, but sometimes too much flexibility can cause problems.

Some children have hypermobility, meaning their joints move beyond the typical range. While it can look impressive, it can also lead to:

• Joint pain

• Frequent sprains

• Tendonitis

• Poor balance or clumsiness

• Minor joint subluxations or dislocations

Sometimes hypermobility is related to connective tissue conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), but many kids simply have loose joints that need more stability.

How can pediatric physical therapy help?

In therapy we focus on:

✔ Teaching kids what normal joint end-range feels like

✔ Isometric strengthening and stabilization to support joints

✔ Building strength, balance, and body awareness

If your child is very flexible but also struggles with pain, sprains, or balance, pediatric PT may help. 💚🧡
