Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pediatric physical therapist?
Pediatric physical therapists are licensed and general physical therapists with a specialization or concentration in adolescent populations. We have a greater understanding of musculoskeletal development, gross motor milestones, and age-specific goals and functions for kids. 

How do I know whether my child needs physical therapy?
Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation where you can describe your concerns, and together, we can develop a plan moving forward which may consist of beginning treatment sessions, monitoring over time, or referring to a doctor. Visit the Consultation Services page for more information.

Do you accept my insurance?
I do not take insurance, however I am credentialed through most major health insurances, so you may be eligible for reimbursement from your insurance provider. I will provide a superbill and work with you and your insurance provider to make physical therapy sessions for your child accessible.
​
Where are physical therapy sessions located?
Most families I work with enjoy the convenience of having physical therapy sessions in their own homes. Sessions can also be held in a community space including parks or gyms. I bring my own equipment, use household supplies and/or your child's preferred toys, and can additionally make recommendations of play equipment to support your child's development. I travel within the New York City surrounding areas.
​
How long will my child need to participate in physical therapy?
It depends! Many factors such as your child's condition, frequency of therapy, and your short-term and long-term goals for your child can influence the prognosis. During a consultation or a formal evaluation, we can discuss these factors and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
