Pediatric Physical Therapy for
Low Muscle Tone &
Developmental Delay
Low Muscle Tone (Hypotonia)
Has your baby been diagnosed low muscle tone?
Low muscle tone, or hypotonia, is a state of reduced tension or resistance in resting muscles, making them feel soft, relaxed, or "floppy". It is not the same as muscle weakness, though they can coexist. It often causes delayed motor milestones, poor posture, increased joint flexibility, and faster fatigue with mobility.
Whether the underlying cause is known or unknown, hypotonia shouldn't keep your child from exploring. Pediatric PT helps build the core strength and stability needed to help your child move with confidence and thrive in their daily activities.
Developmental Delay
Every child develops at their own pace, but when milestones are missed due to an unknown reason or an underlying condition, we are here to help!
Specialized pediatric physical therapy focuses on building motor skills, ensuring your little one reaches their full potential through playful and effective intervention.
Navigating Developmental Delays
Every child develops on their own timeline, but when milestones seem delayed, it’s natural to seek path forward. Whether a developmental delay stems from an underlying medical condition or is currently due to an unknown reason, pediatric physical therapy is a powerful tool to bridge the gap. We focus on building the functional skills and core strength needed so your little one can explore their world, gain independence, and truly thrive.
