Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to common questions parents ask about pediatric physical therapy at Let's Roll.

General Questions

What is pediatric physical therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy helps children improve their motor skills, strength, and coordination through play-based activities tailored to their developmental needs.

How do I know if my baby needs therapy?

If you notice a preference for looking one way, a flat spot on their head, or if they seem behind in milestones like rolling or sitting, a consultation can provide clarity.

What happens during a typical session?

Sessions are gentle and engaging, using toys and specialized techniques to encourage movement while educating parents on home-based support.

Do you accept insurance?

Let's Roll is in-network with BCBS PPO and Blue Choice plans. A superbill is provided for all other insurances so you can submit for reimbursement or application of fees towards your deductible. 

For Babies (0–12 Months)

What is torticollis and how is it treated?

Torticollis is a condition where a baby's neck muscles cause the head to tilt or turn to one side. We use gentle stretching, positioning techniques, and play-based exercises to improve range of motion and symmetry.

What if my baby has a flat spot on their head?

Known as plagiocephaly, flat spots often happen alongside torticollis. We provide positioning strategies to take pressure off the flat area and encourage neck movement to allow the head shape to round out naturally.

How can I make tummy time easier for my baby?

If your baby dislikes tummy time, we can show you modified positions—like using a nursing pillow or chest-to-chest time—to build their strength comfortably and gradually.

When should my baby start rolling or sitting?

While every baby develops at their own pace, milestones like rolling usually happen between 4-6 months, and sitting around 6-8 months. If you're concerned about a delay, we can assess their motor patterns.

My baby only rolls to one side. Should I be worried?

Preferring one side can sometimes indicate underlying muscle tightness. We can check for any imbalances and provide fun activities to encourage movement in both directions.

FAQs for Young Children (1–5 Years)

My child is walking on their toes. Should I be concerned?

While some toe walking can be normal when first learning to walk, consistent toe walking beyond age 2 may indicate muscle tightness or sensory preferences. A physical therapist can help determine the cause and provide exercises to encourage a heel-toe pattern.

What if my child seems 'clumsy' or falls frequently?

Occasional stumbles are part of growing up, but frequent falls may suggest issues with balance, strength, or motor coordination. We work on core stability and gross motor skills to help your child navigate their environment with more confidence and safety.

When should a child start running or jumping?

Most children begin to run by 18–24 months and start jumping with both feet by age 2. If your child is struggling with these higher-level motor skills, we can identify specific areas of weakness and build the strength needed for active play.

My child is delayed in walking. Can PT help?

Absolutely. Physical therapy for delayed walking focuses on building the necessary postural control and leg strength. We use motivating, play-based activities to encourage those first independent steps in a stress-free environment.
