WHAT IS INTENSIVE PHYSICAL THERAPY?
During an intensive physical therapy session, treatment is provided for 2-3 hours per day, 4 days a week. The duration of an intensive session can range from 1 to 3 weeks, depending on your child's individual needs.
​
At Functional Foundations Pediatric Therapy, we prioritize treatments aimed at developing the skills necessary to accomplish specific functional tasks.
​
Together, we'll identify a target functional task for the intensive session.
​
Our therapists focus on your child's strengths and interests as the foundation for each treatment session. Additionally, we assess how various body systems - such as posture, movement, visual, auditory, vestibular, tactile, gastrointestinal, neuromuscular, and musculoskeletal - affect your child's ability to perform the chosen task.
​
Our treatments are designed to optimize gains in areas where system limitations hinder task participation. We build on your child's strengths through bodywork, guided movements, and interaction with the environment.
​
During intensive sessions, ample time is provided to practice foundational activities, gradually leading to mastery of the goal task.

Improved Strength and Endurance: The increased level of activity during intensive therapy leads to significant gains in both strength and endurance.
-
Proven Effectiveness: Numerous studies conducted in recent years have demonstrated the significant benefits of intensive physical therapy for children with cerebral palsy.
