At Progressive Pediatric Therapy, we understand the unique needs of children requiring orthotics. Through our collaborative partnership with Falk Prosthetics & Orthotics, we provide a comprehensive Orthotics Clinic designed to ensure your child receives the highest quality of care. Whether you are new to orthotics or looking for a more supportive approach, our team is here to help.
Children who are patients at PPT and who could benet from a custom designed orthotic can participate in the bi-monthly orthotics clinics offered in our West Palm Beach Clinic and Falk Prosthetic & Orthotics Delray Office.
Orthotics are beneficial for children with a wide range of conditions, including:
Neuromuscular disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy)
Developmental delays affecting mobility and posture
Orthopedic conditions (e.g., clubfoot, scoliosis, or limb-length discrepancies)
Gait abnormalities, such as toe-walking or pronation
If your child has challenges with movement, stability, or alignment, orthotics may help them achieve greater independence and comfort.
Orthotics can play a vital role in improving a child’s quality of life:
Proper support can help children walk more efficiently and comfortably.
: Orthotics correct posture and joint alignment, reducing strain on muscles and ligaments.
With better mobility and confidence, children can participate in daily activities with greater ease.
Properly fitted orthotics provide stability and support to minimize the risk of falls or joint damage.
At our Orthotics Clinic, we focus on collaboration and personalized care, ensuring your child receives orthotics that meet their specific needs. Here’s what you can expect:
During the first visit, your child will be evaluated by a certified orthotist from Falk P/O and a skilled PPT Orthotics Physical or Occupational Therapist. This evaluation includes:
At the second visit, your child will receive their custom-fitted orthotics. The Orthotics Team ensures proper alignment, comfort, and functionality. This appointment includes:
Final fitting adjustments for optimal outcomes
Our therapists work closely with your family to monitor your child’s progress, address concerns, and coordinate follow-ups with the Orthotics Team as needed.
While we recommend the benefits of attending the Orthotics Clinic, families have the flexibility to seek care directly with Falk Prosthetics & Orthotics. However, some insurance providers may require participation in the clinic for LMN documentation. Whatever your choice, our team is committed to supporting your decision and ensuring your child receives the best care possible.
At Progressive Pediatric Therapy and Falk Prosthetics & Orthotics, we are passionate about empowering children to thrive. Contact us today to learn more about our Orthotics Clinic and how we can help your child achieve their fullest potential.
