What Makes Totally Kids So Special?

As our name says, we are "Totally Kids." Kids are our specialty. This singular focus is why referring doctors and other hospitals trust us to provide the specialized rehabilitative care their patients need across all degrees of clinical complexity. And it is why we employ a clinical staff specially trained to provide the age and developmentally appropriate activities each child requires.

Our campus is devoted 100% to children as we believe that children and adolescents learn and progress better when they are with others their own age. From this comfortable hospital setting, we devote maximum time and personalized attention to each child under the belief that "one size never fits all."

Children at Totally Kids benefit not only from the talents, clinical excellence and high degree of tenderness of our clinical staff but from the latest cutting-edge technologies normally found in the nation's most sophisticated pediatric rehabilitation centers. These include:

EKSO Bionic Exoskeleton. This remarkable, wearable device allows patients to perform movements and utilize muscles that may have been injured as a result of spinal cord injury, stroke, or other conditions or disorders.
Learn more about our exoskeleton therapy.

Virtual Reality. Our virtual reality apps — including video games, music, guided imagery and relaxation training - help with anxiety, pain management and range-of-motion training. This often means a faster path toward gaining the skills, capabilities and confidence needed to return home and back to their community.

Biofeedback. Effectively used for pain management, and to increase range of motion. Biofeedback gives patients the ability to practice new ways to control their own body, leading to improved health condition or physical performance.

Neurofeedback. Also known as EEG, this therapy allows for the retraining of specific areas of a patient's brain to bring it back to its functional best. Neurofeedback is a safe and promising treatment for children with brain injuries, seizures, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other symptoms.

Our state-of-the-art facility also features:

  • A rehabilitation gym
  • Isolation rooms to promote an infection-free environment
  • Outdoor therapy gardens
  • On-site access to diagnostic imaging and laboratory services
