Aubrey was introduced to physical therapy in high school following a sports injury and, as a result of her experience, chose it as her career. Aubrey has worked in outpatient orthopedics, acute care, and outpatient pediatrics.
She is passionate about pediatric physical therapy because she desires every child to reach his or her full potential, promoting each child's independence and participation in all aspects of life, but especially values the opportunity to build relationships with her clinic kids and their families.

Intensive Pediatric Physical Therapy is scheduled 3 hours a day, 5 days a week for 3 weeks. This intensive level of therapeutic treatment allows enough motor practice for new motor patterns to become more automatic. Equipment includes the universal exercise unit and the TherasuitTM. The universal exercise unit is designed to allow resistive training for even limited motor control through a system of pulleys and support.
We understand that often parents and caregivers don't know much about physical therapy or where to turn for important information and resources on specific conditions. Often, the first sign that a child may need physical therapy is when he or she doesn't achieve certain developmental milestones. We've provided information here that we hope will be helpful.

You will not find a better therapist for your child! The owner has her doctorate, is smart but tender, and hires kind & hard working therapists. She then sets the plan for your child and follows up by either stepping into the session to check on your child's progress, or by doing the session herself. They do what it takes to get your child past whatever obstacle they are facing. For us it was torticollis in our infant. We have been going there around six months and I can't say enough good things about it.
