National leaders in pediatric heart care

Our cardiac therapy program works closely with The Heart Center at Children’s Health, which is ranked among the top 10 children’s hospitals for pediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery by U.S. News & World Report. Your child’s cardiac therapy team works closely with their pediatric cardiologist through every stage of their care to ensure their therapy is safe for them.

Developing new ways to help children thrive

More children than ever are surviving heart conditions, thanks to innovations in surgery and care over the past 15 years. That means physical therapists, occupational therapists and speech language pathologists are keeping up with the latest developments in cardiac therapy to properly care for these children and help them thrive.

At Children’s Health, our therapists are leading research to design comprehensive cardiac therapy programs, such as an innovative new tool to evaluate each child’s abilities and goals. This new tool lets our care teams design a personalized treatment plan that will help your child meet their health and developmental goals.

Cardiac therapy where your child needs it

We provide cardiac therapy services for children in the cardiac intensive care unit, at Integrated Therapy, in outpatient clinics and at home. This means your child can receive continuous therapy and keep building on their progress. They’ll also be able to form a tight bond with their therapists, who not only know all about your child’s heart condition, but also know you and your child.

Care designed just for children

At Children’s Health, we understand that children aren’t just little adults. They face different heart conditions and have specific therapy needs. Our experienced teams know how to care for children’s heart conditions and the developmental delays they can cause. We create therapy plans that are engaging and include activities that children enjoy, such as swinging, playing tag or playing with their favorite toys. When your child is having fun, they are more likely to want to come to therapy and keep improving.
