    Physical therapists play an important role in treating children with TM by assessing their range of motion, muscle strength, posture and function. Therapists focus on improving suppleness, strength and stamina through exercises targeting major joints and using resistance, isometrics, and positioning. Consistent physical therapy can help children develop mobility, independence, endurance and self-esteem by improving balance and the ability to transition positions and complete conditioning tasks.
