Physical Therapy

Erin McIlroy and her team of physical therapists with EMC Therapy Services help children move, grow, and thrive through playful, evidence-based physical therapy. Their approach focuses on building strong foundations in balance, coordination, and functional movement at every stage of development.

The team incorporates Dynamic Movement Integration (DMI) to activate the neuromuscular system through precise, guided movements that enhance postural control, alignment, and overall motor skills. This dynamic, hands-on method supports the development of strong, efficient movement patterns that naturally carry over into everyday activities.

With a family-centered philosophy and highly individualized care, EMC Therapy Services supports each child’s unique journey toward greater confidence, independence, and milestone achievement.
