Physical Therapy in Bedford and Irving for Pediatric Issues
As adults, we are able to identify where pain is coming from and verbalize it correctly to a Physical Therapist or other pain management professional. However, when it is a child who is experiencing pain, or dealing with some level of injury, it is more complicated to figure out what is wrong in order to determine the type of care the little one in our life needs. Furthermore, because a child's body is always growing, it is important for an adult to understand how this can contribute to a healthy existence and promote good playtime activities and responsible practices for staying fit and healthy.
As is the case with any type of pediatric care, a parent or guardian wants to make sure they are taking the correct steps and working with the right professionals in order to benefit their child. An adult never wants to worry that they are overdoing or under-doing treatment, or doing something unnecessary altogether, just because their child may not be able to correctly tell them where or how it hurts or verbalize the issue they may be having.
This area of our site is dedicated to help parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or any responsible adult who has a child, understand how to keep them healthy and happy when they are playing hard and having fun. It is this area where you will find resources to support and care for your child regardless of their activity, their sport, or their age.
It is our aim to provide resources to you that cover a wide variety of pediatric issues in order for you to help your child run, jump, play and feel the way a kid should feel....great!

“ We have been 100% pleased with Barkman and Smith! The entire staff is so friendly and our PT, Michael, is so warm, professional, and knowledgeable about our situation. He is so good with our six year old daughter and has made all the difference in her recovery from clubfoot surgery. He comes up with awesome exercises that our daughter loves, and engages her in such fun ways. The ladies in the office, the techs, and the owners are all so supportive and encouraging of our little girl and her progress. We love this place and these people, and we highly recommend them for any treatment at any age! ”

“ I have been extremely impressed with the professionalism, compassion and knowledge of each of the therapists that have worked with me. I had a very big emergency back surgery 2 1/2 months ago (a 360 Laminectomy, had a fusion of the L4and 5 and a 3inch cyst removed from spinal canal) and it has been a long recovery and still have a way to go to get my strength and mobility back and I feel like I am making my best progress since going to Barkman and Smith. I had inpatient physical Therapy, Rehab at home and now outpatient physical therapy at Barkman and Smith. My daughter and my mother had also been patients and Barkman and Smith Physical Therapy so I was already aware of how good they were and when I needed physical therapy I immediately wanted to go to them. I will gladly recommend Barkman and Smith Physical Therapy to any family and friends in need of physical therapy. ”

“ I came to Barkman and Smith as a result of a car wreck. For two weeks I tried to live with the muscle spasms under my left scapula. It felt like a tennis ball under my scapula. I am a professor at TCC. My duties of teaching, grading, and computer work just aggravated the problem. After about three sessions at Barkman and Smith I started to experience results. Although no one wants to be in a car wreck, this one had a silver lining. As it turns out, the PT I received for my muscle spasm due to the wreck also worked wonders for relieving overall back and neck tension. My home program is now a tool I can use all of the time to help back and neck tension due to my profession. Four weeks of therapy and My back spasms are gone, no meds, just PT! The staff, techs, and PTs are very friendly and helpful. As a side note, ask Peter, one of the PTs, to demonstrate maxing out all the weight machines! ”
