Our Goal Is To Help Your Child Be Active Again

Whether your child is healing from an injury or managing a chronic illness, positive outcomes in physical and occupational therapy can pave the way for success in many other aspects of life—like boosting confidence and independence. At LuskinOIC, our goal is to guide your child’s recovery and teach you and your child how to prevent injuries in the future in our brand new, state-of-the-art Rehabilitation Center. Success requires a team approach between your physician, our physical and occupational therapists, your child, and you.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as we work toward that goal together:

• Education is a huge part of pediatric physical and occupational therapy. LuskinOIC’s therapists would love to equip you and your child with the right information to meet your rehabilitation goals.
• Success in therapy requires motivation and hard work. Our therapists will help your child find the right approach to healing – mixing love, laughter and work. The at-home exercises are just as important to your child’s recovery as the work done in-person at LuskinOIC.
• Physical therapy is about more than just healing the body. Physical therapy has a motivational component, as well. It can convert an “I can’t” mindset to “Let’s do this.”
• Ask questions. It’s our job to make sure you and your child are informed. For questions at any stage along your therapy journey, please ask us.

Our World-Class Rehabilitation Treatment

Our physicians understand orthopedic therapy is a powerful treatment for both musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, and is a critical step in your child’s recovery. Contrary to popular belief, we know it involves much more than just building up your child’s muscle strength.

At LuskinOIC, our expert therapy team’s goal is to create a rehabilitation plan tailored for your child. To be sure your child is successful, we work closely with you and your child, and with our medical staff to:

• Determine the impact of an illness or injury on your child’s ability to move and function in daily life and in sports
• Devise a rehabilitation plan tailored to help your child regain function, including range of motion and coordination
• Provide the tools needed to implement the rehabilitation program
• Work to help your child reach their goals and prevent symptoms or injuries from worsening or recurring

Finger Exercises

We use our hands and wrists constantly throughout the day including writing, playing sports, managing buttons when getting dressed, and much more. When your child’s hand is injured or painful, it can make even the simplest tasks difficult! Based on the injury, performing one or more of these exercises can improve the recovery process and hand function. Your child’s hands may feel weak and stiff at first, but these exercises are designed to strengthen the hands and wrists to help your child return to participation in daily activities.
