Physical Therapy
At CST Academy, our Physical Therapy (PT) services are dedicated to enhancing the physical development and well-being of children. By focusing on strength, mobility, balance, and coordination, our experienced physical therapists support each child in achieving their milestones, whether it’s their first steps, improving sports skills, or simply moving more confidently through their world.
Empowering Movement and Independence
Physical Therapy at CST Academy offers a tailored approach to support children with a range of physical needs. From infants to adolescents, our goal is to provide interventions that promote optimal physical function and active participation in home, school, and community environments. Our therapists specialize in pediatric care, understanding the unique nuances of growing bodies and minds. Through a combination of play-based therapy, innovative techniques, and compassionate care, we empower children to reach their full physical potential.

"After almost 2 years our son’s time at CST Academy has come to an end. The preschool program has done wonders for him. Ms Jaclyn is such a warm, kind and patient teacher. She and my son’s OT (Ms. Nikki) and ST (Ms. Erika) worked together to ensure he was meeting all of his goals. The level of collaboration between all therapies shows how dedicated they are to helping your child reach their full potential. They have all made such an impact on him, it’s amazing to see the changes since he started there. He has blossomed into a strong, confident boy who is more than prepared to start his new school in a few weeks. We will always fondly remember our time at CST Academy. Can’t recommend them enough!"
"I worked with CST Academy over a period of about 10 months. They are absolutely incredible! I also referred a friend to their program and the progress his child made just blew him away! Usually, I don’t write reviews unless I feel strongly compelled one way or the other, and in this case I do! You cannot go wrong here. I would not trust my children to anyone else. Call them and see for yourself. I have seen other programs and there is just no comparison."
