Yes! Babies as small as a few days old in the NICU (neo-natal intensive care unit) can recieve PT. Physical therapists see babies for things such as developmental delay, positioning, torticollis, and many other things to help them achieve milestones!

Yes, in some cases the PT goes to the baby's house to assess and treat them for any developmental delays and other needs.

Hope that helps!

Morgan’s Answer

Babies absolutely go to physical therapy, and for a wide variety of reasons including birth injuries, developmental delay, genetic syndromes, or neurological problems. Babies can either be treated at an outpatient clinic or can be treated in the home through home health or early childhood intervention programs. Additionally, many babies admitted to a hospital may require physical therapy (either on a regular acute floor or in the NICU). They’re a fun bunch to treat, and definitely my favorite.
