Welcome to Empire Therapy - PEDIATRIC THERAPY SERVICES

Pediatric Occupational Therapy helps children with tasks like getting dressed, schoolwork, and play. Therapists work on improving skills like fine motor skills, coordination, and focusing.

Specialized therapeutic techniques can integrate these reflexes, increasing children’s focus, concentration, behavior management, and feeding, in addition to helping children and their parents enjoy every day,
• Fascia Work: Fascia is a unique tissue in your body that looks like a web or stretchy sheet. It helps your muscles, organs, and bones stay in place and work together correctly.
