Play with purpose: Using therapy services to bring out the best in your child

We help children learn or regain skills in an enjoyable way and kid-friendly environment. Kids come to us for many different reasons, including early invention for developmental concerns or as young athletes, recovering from injuries. No matter the diagnosis, we incorporate the doctor’s guidance and your child’s goals into a personalized treatment plan.

Our pediatric therapists are specially trained to care for the needs of children, and our therapy centers are designed just for kids!

Everything from the equipment to the toys is selected with pediatric patients ages birth to 21 in mind. With the largest number of pediatric therapists in the region and locations throughout central and Northern Virginia, you can find the most convenient and expert care for your child – close to home.  

We also take an integrated approach, adding in the right therapy your child needs at the right stage in their development. We’re constantly helping your child build abilities – and be kids at the same time. Research shows that kids achieve the best outcomes and reach goals when they practice their therapy goals at home. We work with you to adapt therapy activities so they can be continued in the comfort of your home.
