Intensive Physical Therapy sessions are 1-2 (50-60 minute) sessions per day, 5 days, for 1-3 weeks at a time. Some key advantages:
Accelerated Progress: Intensive therapy provides more frequent and prolonged sessions, which accelerates your child's progress compared to traditional therapy with less frequent visits.
Skill Acquisition: Allows children to practice and refine their motor skills more often, increasing skill acquisition and improved retention. The frequent repetition of therapeutic activities helps children retain newly learned skills and movements.
Targeted Intervention: Intensive therapy allows therapists to address specific challenges and focus on individual goals, tailoring treatment plans to suit each child's unique needs. Progressing quickly and achieving new milestones can boost a child's confidence and motivation to continue working towards their goals.
Consistent Support: With intensive therapy, children receive consistent and ongoing support during crucial periods of growth, reducing the risk of regression between therapy sessions.
Functional Gains: Intensive therapy aims to improve a child's ability to perform daily activities independently, leading to greater functional gains and increased independence.
Improved Family Involvement: The more frequent sessions provide opportunities for parents and caregivers to be actively involved in their child's therapy and learn techniques for supporting their progress at home.
Flexibility and Adaptability: Intensive therapy allows therapists to adjust treatment plans in real-time based on a child's progress and evolving needs.
