Torticollis, often seen in infants as a preference to look or move to one side, can lead to developmental delays if untreated. Plagiocephaly, or “flat head syndrome,” frequently accompanies torticollis, as the constant pressure on one side of the head can create asymmetry.
Early therapy can make all the difference for torticollis babies. By focusing on gentle exercises, we aim to improve head shape, neck mobility, and overall development, helping your baby thrive without the need for more intensive interventions. The sooner therapy begins, the better the outcomes for your baby’s physical growth and developmental milestones.
Early intervention with physical therapy helps infants with developmental delays develop essential motor skills, offering hope and progress for families. At Pathway Pediatric Therapy, we create personalized exercises that promote strength, coordination, and physical growth.

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement and muscle coordination. It occurs when the developing brain is damaged, often before birth or shortly after. This damage can make it difficult for children to control their muscles, leading to challenges with walking, sitting, and even using their hands.
However, with early intervention and therapies like physical therapy, children with cerebral palsy can improve their motor skills and lead fulfilling lives.
At Pathway Pediatric Therapy, we conduct a thorough assessment, including range of motion, strength, postural alignment, functional skills, and family goals, to decide what orthotic might best suit your child. By using these devices, we can help correct alignment issues and enhance stability, allowing your child to move more confidently and safely.
When do babies start walking?
Is your little one hesitant to take those first steps, or have they been stuck in the crawling, standing, or assisted walking phase for what feels like a long time? Seeing them struggle to progress can be worrying, but don’t worry—we’re here to help!
Whether your child just needs more time and practice or requires more structured exercises, we can work together to strengthen their muscles, improve balance, and enhance coordination. Our goal is to support your child’s unique developmental journey and help them gain the confidence and skills they need to walk independently.
At Pathway Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in identifying and treating the root causes of balance deficits and frequent falls. While occasional unsteadiness is common for new walkers, persistent balance issues and frequent falls may indicate deeper motor challenges. Physical therapy can help identify the root causes and create a targeted plan for improvement.
It’s important that your child receives treatment based on his or her needs, not a pre-programmed regime made for “some” kids.
