Northwest Pediatric Therapies has been providing pediatric physical therapy services in the Issaquah area since 1987. Our staff are skilled in evaluating and treating children, ages birth to 18 years. Our pediatric physical therapists are professionals with advanced training and experience in a number of specialty areas: child development, orthopedics, neuromotor, sensory motor, and traumatic injuries.

Our pediatric physical therapists work closely with parents and other family members as well as physicians, schools, and daycare providers to identify, evaluate, and establish treatment objectives for children. Pediatric physical therapy helps children improve their ability to perform functional motor activities. Some children may have difficulty developing motor skills and may need to work on improving coordination, balance, muscle strength, physical endurance, and motor planning.



Every child is a unique individual who desires to participate in family, school and community activities. To help a child obtain motor skills necessary for participation in his/her family's daily life, the child's physical therapist must have a clear understanding of the family's goals. Through a collaborative effort between parents, child, and therapist, functional goals are developed. Achieving functional skills is key to a child's successful participation in his/her natural environment.
