Physical Therapists
Physical Therapy
Pediatric physical therapists work with children who are experiencing illnesses, injuries, or conditions that limit their ability to move or function in their daily life. They provide services aimed to improve mobility, develop or restore function, alleviate pain, prevent or decrease permanent physical disabilities, and promote overall health and wellness. Pediatric physical therapists provide services aimed at promoting a child's ability to function independently and participate actively in home, school, and community environments.
Our pediatric physical therapists are highly-trained in Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), respiration training and coordination and Kinesiotaping.

"Our daughter has been working with Miriam for almost 6 years. She has always looked forward to her weekly “play” sessions. The progress our daughter has made over the years has been incredible to watch. As a 1 year old, she wasn’t moving at all. Miriam helped give her the tools which enabled her to roll over, transition, crawl and walk all on her own. As a 7 year old, our daughter is now running, jumping and climbing. Miriam has also been an incredible resource to our family in terms of advice with schooling, extracurricular activities, and doctor recommendations. Miriam is always friendly, warm, engaging and encouraging!"
