Here to Help Kids Move, Play & Grow

At Sunshine Physical Therapy Clinic, our pediatric physical therapy services in Vero Beach are designed to help children build strength, mobility, and confidence. Whether recovering from an injury, managing a developmental disorder, or working toward new motor milestones, we create individualized one-on-one therapy plans that support each child’s unique journey. As a nonprofit outpatient clinic, we proudly accept Medicaid, VA benefits, most major insurances, and offer financial assistance for uninsured families—because every child deserves access to quality therapy.
