The physical therapy department emphasizes individualized, team-based care developed with the child, family, and other specialists involved in treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Boston Children's says its pediatric physical therapy department treats patients from infancy through young adulthood. The service is designed to help with movement, strength, coordination, balance, gait, and day-to-day function.

The hospital says outpatient physical therapy begins with an evaluation of the child's condition, how it affects daily life, the activities that matter to the child, and the goals the family wants to achieve. A care plan is then organized around those goals, and families are educated on how to support progress at home.

Boston Children's states that an initial appointment can be made by the family, the referring physician, or the primary care physician by contacting the preferred location. The site says to have insurance details and contact information ready when calling, and if a referral has been sent, to call at least 48 hours after it is submitted.

The hospital notes that many insurance companies require a referral from the primary care physician before treatment. If a required referral is missing at the appointment, the family may be asked to sign a waiver accepting financial responsibility for that day's service, but if the referral is provided within five business days, the waiver is removed and insurance is billed.

Boston Children's advises families to arrive 15 minutes early and bring relevant medical records, imaging or surgery reports, prior therapy notes if available, sneakers, adaptive equipment, and splints or braces. The site also says to bring insurance information, any required co-payment or referral, and medical history details needed for the intake form. For workers compensation or accident-related visits, additional claim and attorney information should be brought as well.
