Supporting Your Preemie’s Growth
The arrival of a premature baby brings immense joy but also unique challenges. Their tiny bodies are still developing and may require specialized care to reach their full potential. At Therapy In Motion, our team of pediatric physical therapists works collaboratively to provide comprehensive support for your premature infant.
Understanding Premature Development
Premature babies are born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Their organs and systems may be underdeveloped, impacting their ability to feed, breathe, and regulate body temperature.
Here at Therapy In Motion in Olathe, KS, we understand that each preemie’s journey is unique.
