The Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia offers world-class pediatric rehabilitation services. We help each patient realize their maximum potential for recovery, function and self-sufficiency.

We will create a comprehensive treatment plan if your child has experienced an injury or illness that has caused a loss of function or abilities in:

  • Daily living activities
