The goal of physical therapy (PT) is to help clients to "Get Moving". PT services at Arkansas Children's are individually tailored to help each client achieve the highest possible level of independence with their mobility. Both inpatient and outpatient PTs work with clients to enhance development, improve patterns of movement and restore mobility resulting from illness or injury.
Physical therapists at Arkansas Children's are licensed by the State of Arkansas. All of our therapists hold a Master's or Doctoral degree in physical therapy practice. Services are offered in acute care, ICUs, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient services and specialty clinics.
