About Us

At Big Steps Physical Therapy, the physical therapist will analyze your child’s movement, assess range of motion, strength, and symmetries to create a focused treatment plan to work toward normalized, stable and free mobility.  

We work together with each family to give hope and provide the best care. Big Steps Physical Therapy can help to develop balance reactions and coordination, improve a child's flexibility and strength after an injury or due to neurological damage. Pediatric physical therapy can help your child to be more independent and successful in their physical endeavors.

Big Steps Physical Therapy recognizes all that parents do and the emotional roller coaster that comes with parenting, especially as a parent of a special needs child. We work alongside you, listen to your concerns and goals, and coach with grace so that therapy can continue at home without added stress.
