Whether a child faces orthopedic or neurological problems, The Cantrell Center for Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine is more than prepared to receive the pediatric patient. We want our kids to be excited to come to physical therapy. Most parents who have done the “PT thing” with their kids know that it can become quite tedious. Not here. We want the children to feel like this is a “home away from home” in which they get to have a great time. And, oops! They will “accidentally” get better in the process.

We will combine our clinical expertise and objective judgment with a good dose of love. It’s what we do best.
PEDIATRIC ORTHOPEDICS
