Physical therapy is designed to optimize motor skills, movement patterns, and overall physical function to support a child's unique growth and development.
What can physical therapy address?
At Balanced Creations Therapy & Trampoline, our developmental pediatric physical therapy services cover a wide range of conditions and concerns, including but not limited to:
Motor Delays: Addressing delays in gross motor skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, navigating stairs and environments.

What can I expect at the physical therapy initial evaluation?
This is a one-on-one, in-depth evaluation consisting of an age-appropriate analysis of posture, balance and coordination, flexibility, strength, mobility skills, transitional movements, quality of movements, motor planning, gait/walking quality, and higher-level gross motor skills, if appropriate. You will receive a written report with observational and standardized results outlining your child's strengths and areas that could be improved with physical therapy, demonstration and collaborative education on purposeful play-based activities to be completed throughout the day specific to your child and home, a detailed home exercise program complete with pictures and videos specific to your child and their gross motor goals (as needed), a list of developmentally appropriate toys specific to your child and their goals (as needed), and ongoing concierge support via phone/text/email to ensure success.
Do I need a referral to begin services?
No, a referral is not required to get started with our services. In the state of Texas, a physical therapist can evaluate and treat for up to 10 business days without a referral. If physical therapy services are expected to extend past this period, Balanced Creations Therapy & Trampoline will reach out to your primary care provider to obtain a referral for you.
Additionally, our Developmental Playgroups are considered wellness services and do not require physician approval to attend.

All costs are known upfront; those unexpected bills months after rendered services won't happen here!We do not accept insurance, however can take HSA/FSA as payment.

How long will it take for my child to achieve their goals?
It depends. For more wellness based preventative care, typically, we see families for approximately 2-4 sessions. In some cases, with musculoskeletal concerns and/or gross motor delay with a co-occurring medical diagnosis, the length and frequency of services can vary. We individually create care plans and frequency of services to meet the needs of each child and the family's values. When families are committed to the process, we usually see steady improvement. Families who get the best results are those who work diligently and patiently with their child daily and focus on purposeful play-based activities throughout the day — change is hard and progress is rewarding! If there is a functional plateau or if the situation worsens, we refer to another provider either in addition to our services or instead of our services.

Valentine's Coloring for Gymnasts – A Fun & Powerful Tool for Sensory and Emotional Regulation
Valentine’s Day Is Full of Big Emotions—Let’s Support Your Child and Adaptive Athlete Holistically
When I was brainstorming Valentine’s Day activities for my clients and reflecting on what other therapists and gymnastics instructors have done in the past, I noticed something was missing—there weren’t many resources that focused on sensory or emotional regulation.
On a holiday filled with excitement, fluctuating emotions, and, let’s be honest, a whole lot of sugar, I wanted to create something that stayed true to what I teach: movement education, sensory regulation, and relational neuroscience. The children I work with experience big feelings and emotions, just like any other athlete or child, and having tools to support their regulation, focus, and transitions is essential—not only for their success in the gym but also in their daily lives.
That’s why I created a set of Gymnastics-Themed Coloring Sheets specifically designed to support sensory and emotional regulation. These aren’t just ordinary coloring pages! Each sheet includes:
✔ Educational content on the back to help parents and coaches understand the importance of regulation.
✔ An activity that can be done with a class, teammates, or even at home with siblings or friends.
✔ Flexible modifications to fit different needs—whether in a gymnastics gym, classroom, or home setting.

Why Coloring Is More Than Just an Art Activity
Coloring might seem like a simple pastime, but for children, athletes, and even adults, it can be a powerful tool for emotional regulation, fine motor development, and focus. Whether your child needs help calming down, transitioning between activities, or developing hand strength for gymnastics skills, coloring provides a structured, soothing activity that supports both body and mind.
🧘 Regulation & Emotional Control
Coloring calms the nervous system, making it a great pre-activity or cool-down tool.
Provides structured hand movement, helping children transition from high-energy play to focused learning.
Helps reduce anxiety, frustration, or sensory overload, making it easier for children to engage and participate in activities.
✋ Fine Motor Strength & Coordination
Holding crayons or colored pencils strengthens grip and hand muscles, essential for holding bars, rings, and beams.
Supports hand-eye coordination, which is crucial for body control in gymnastics, tumbling, and play.
Helps develop bilateral coordination and spatial awareness, both necessary for navigating movement challenges.
🎯 Focus & Attention
Encourages sustained focus and patience, which helps children learn to stay engaged in an activity.
Strengthens visual tracking skills, important for sports like trampoline, vault, and tumbling.
Promotes self-directed play and independence, supporting confidence-building in both sports and daily routines.
💙 Sensory Processing & Emotional Expression
Provides a nonverbal way to express emotions, especially for children who may struggle with verbal communication.
The repetitive motion of coloring can be soothing and grounding, making it a great tool for neurodivergent children.
Using different textures (crayons, markers, or watercolor pencils) provides tactile feedback to support sensory needs.
Breathwork & Affirmations: Additional Tools for Regulation
Coloring isn’t the only regulation tool included in this Gymnastics Coloring Packet—breathing exercises and affirmations are also powerful ways to help children stay calm, confident, and in control of their emotions.
🌬 The Power of Breathwork
Breathing exercises help children regulate their energy levels, focus, and manage stress. Just like learning a gymnastics skill, breathwork must be practiced regularly so that when challenges arise, the body already knows what to do.
Try these simple breathing techniques with your child:
🟠 Rainbow Breathing – Inhale as you “trace” a rainbow in the air, exhale as you complete the arc. Repeat with different colors.
🔵 Flower-Petal Breathing – Inhale deeply while spreading fingers open like petals, exhale while closing them.
🟣 Pinwheel Breathing – Inhale through the nose, then exhale slowly as if blowing on a pinwheel.
Practicing these techniques regularly helps children reset, refocus, and manage their emotions in any situation—whether at practice, school, or home.
Affirmations for Confidence & Focus
Gymnastics (and life!) requires just as much mental strength as physical ability. Practicing affirmations can help children build confidence, reframe fear and frustration, and develop a strong, positive mindset.
Try these affirmations with your child:
💪 Strength & Confidence – “I am strong, powerful, and capable.”
🌟 Growth Mindset – “Progress is progress, no matter how small.”
💖 Resilience & Determination – “I can do hard things.”
🎯 Focus & Calm – “I take a deep breath and trust myself.”
💌 TRY THIS! 💌
Ask your child: “I feel strongest when I tell myself __________.”
This simple reflection can help them internalize positive self-talk and self-belief.
How to Use These Coloring Sheets in Your Daily Routine
🏡 At Home: Use them as a calming transition between activities, a bedtime wind-down, or a fun weekend activity.
🏫 At School: Modify the activities to fit classroom settings or share them with friends.
🤸♂️ At Gymnastics Practice: Try using them before warm-up, during breaks, or as a cool-down to help children prepare and regulate before or after movement.
🌟 No matter where you use them, these coloring sheets are a simple, fun, and effective way to help children develop emotional regulation skills that will support them for life.
