We celebrated another year of business!

Thanks to our husband's that hold down the fort at home while we get to spend time with our clinic kids. Without your support we wouldn't be doing what we love.

Thanks to all of our wonderful families for sharing your homes with us as we support them in PT and OT. You all have become family to us and we are grateful.

We look forward to another productive year of meeting milestones and cheering on every small improvement with you all.

Did you know we have OT? Occupational therapy focuses on fine motor tasks, social interactions, emotional regulation, play acquisition, and sensory integration.

OT and PT often work together to enhance therapy sessions and get the most out of a child. Co-treats are one of our favorite ways to help a child.

We love this sled. It's cheap and easy to find in most large department stores.

This sled is great for infants and toddlers who have head control and good trunk control in sitting. If they need more trunk control, tuck a blanket around them to keep them upright.

Get outside in the fresh powder and enjoy these snow days. Pulling your little one will activate their vestibular system (this inner ear balance) and they will have a blast. Pull them forward, backward, circles, fast and slow!

Don't get stuck inside, go give them a great sensory experience outside.

Therapy intensives have proven to be effective in creating new motor pathways. It can be even more effective than regularly scheduled PT appts in the pediatric population. It's a busy few weeks but families also have more time together and more free time to enjoy as a family unit.
