Outpatient Pediatrics

The Physical and Occupational Therapists at The Nebraska Medical Center evaluate and treat children experiencing a wide range of conditions, from newborns through age 21. Using age-appropriate therapeutic play activities and exercise, as well as hands-on treatment, our therapists strive to combat the effects of injuries and developmental delays, as well as maximize gross, fine motor and mobility skills. While a therapist will spend direct one-on one time with your child during the treatment session, one of our primary treatment goals is parent and caregiver education, so that children can continue the rehabilitation process at home as frequently and often as possible.
