Introduction to Pediatric Issues

Physical Therapy in Pearland, Houston for Pediatric Issues

As adults, we are able to identify where pain is coming from and verbalize it correctly to a Physical Therapist or other pain management professional.  However, when it is a child who is experiencing pain, or dealing with some level of injury, it is more complicated to figure out what is wrong in order to determine the type of care the little one in our life needs.  Furthermore, because a child's body is always growing, it is important for an adult to understand how this can contribute to a healthy existence and promote good playtime activities and responsible practices for staying fit and healthy.

As is the case with any type of pediatric care, a parent or guardian wants to make sure they are taking the correct steps and working with the right professionals in order to benefit their child.  An adult never wants to worry that they are overdoing or under-doing treatment, or doing something unnecessary altogether, just because their child may not be able to correctly tell them where or how it hurts or verbalize the issue they may be having.

This area of our site is dedicated to help parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or any responsible adult who has a child, understand how to keep them healthy and happy when they are playing hard and having fun.  It is this area where you will find resources to support and care for your child regardless of their activity, their sport, or their age.

It is our aim to provide resources to you that cover a wide variety of pediatric issues in order for you to help your child run, jump, play and feel the way a kid should feel....great!

 My daughter had a neck injury resulting from an accident playing sports.  ProActive’s staff (Amy and Kevin) was able to get her immediate relief after one treatment.  After two weeks of therapy my daughter returned to high-level play on her travel team.  We should have asked our doctor for different help (other than meds) a long time ago.  When we asked, he said "PT might help".  Well, it did and we wished he’d been faster at ordering treatment.  We would highly recommend ProActive to get your athlete back in great form.

 Dr Katie Schif and her staff at ProActive Physical Therapy are absolutely wonderful. They helped me work though chronic plantar’s fasciitis and a fresh sprain on my other ankle. The staff are very professional, knowledgeable and caring individuals that work really hard to help with your recovery. I had difficulty walking up and down the stairs everyday. Their physical therapy plan really improved my strength, flexibility and mobility. Now I can climb stairs and walk several miles per day, pain free. ProActive Therapy also helped my youngest daughter work through a high school sports injury. They really work well as a team and I’m truly grateful. I strongly recommend their company to my friends and coworkers. Mark Crissman, U.S.Navy veteran

 Brought my daughter to pt here after back surgery. She likes the therapist and help she receives in her recovery. They understand pain and the need to manage it while working to strengthen the injured areas. Compassion and encouragement are important components in healing while enduring great pain and working through it.

 I came here about four years ago when I dislocated my knee. The staff was very attentive to my needs. All the exercises they taught me really helped strengthen my leg. So when my daughter broke her leg, I knew a good place to take her! She has actually enjoyed it! I’m very thankful for this place!
