Pediatric Exercise Handbook : A Developmental How-To for Parents and Clinicians

"A great resource for understanding gross motor milestones and learning functional, easy, and adaptable play-based activities for kiddos!"

Our pediatric exercise handbook was written by two physical therapists and created with parents, newer clinicians, student physical therapists, and those who work with the early intervention community in mind. It is intended to provide basic content for learning about gross motor development, milestones, and interventions in an uncomplicated manner that is simple to digest and easy to adapt.

This manual discusses gross motor milestones and fun, creative ways to reach them while working with clients, in the mission field, and with your own children. Safety considerations, modifications, and progressions are listed for all of the activities found within, as is a list of the equipment and ways to recreate those items in any country or at home.

This book was originally created as a resource for an international pediatric physical therapy mission trip and has grown into an everyday resource for families and those working with children. Our mission organization, East of Eden Physical Therapy, was founded in 2016 as a grassroots initiative to teach simple and effective pediatric physical therapy interventions, encourage global awareness, and provide education and care to those in need. All proceeds directly go towards funding our next mission trip and sustaining the work we began in 2016.
