Pediatric Physical Therapy

Treating infants, toddlers, or teens with injuries or special needs requires specific training, skills, and clinical experiences in pediatric physical therapy that the majority of general practitioners simply do not have. When treating a child, employing physical therapy techniques and activities that are commonly used when treating adults are not always effective on children; in fact, some techniques can be quite harmful to the growing skeleton.

Maven Physical Therapy sets itself apart from the typical, general orthopedic practices because of the specialty care that it gives to its young patients. Dr. Jerry Yoo has devoted most of his years in clinical practice to treating the pediatric population. Having worked in both school-based and clinical settings, Dr. Yoo addresses the specific rehab needs of aspiring youth athletes and playful infants alike.
