Physical therapy (PT) is required daily (5 days per week) during the lengthening phase. The Paley Institute has a specialized physical therapy department on-site. All of the therapists have been specifically trained in the rehabilitation of lengthening patients and treat lengthening patients each and every day. This experience is crucial to ensuring a positive outcome, maximizing strength and flexibility, and preventing complications. The Paley Institute is unique among other centers in offering an on-site therapy department specifically catered to the lengthening patient. Physical therapy during lengthening is included in the cost invoice for all of our stature lengthening patients. The duration of the PT included is specified on the invoice.

During the bone-healing (consolidation) phase, you need to continue with PT but less often (2-3 days per week). This is usually done closer to home since most patients depart from West Palm Beach after lengthening. Your therapist will prepare a discharge packet for your home therapist, including all of your medical notes and videos on specific stretches. If you plan to stay locally for some time we can arrange physical therapy at our center at a discounted rate.

Daily home exercises are still required throughout both lengthening and consolidation phases. Your physical therapist at the Paley Institute will instruct you and your caregivers on the home exercise protocols.
