developt Pediatric Physical Therapy

We are passionate about helping children along their developmental journey through play. Kristen is a Physical Therapist in pediatrics based out of Saskatoon.

She earned her Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2004 and, after a brief hiatus, completed her Master of Physical Therapy in 2010, graduating with Great Distinction and earning the Canadian Physical Therapy Award for Clinical Excellence. Since graduating, Kristen has worked extensively within the Saskatchewan Health Authority and for the last nine years with the Alvin Buckwold Child Development Program. She has extensive experience treating conditions that affect gross motor development, including Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, plagiocephaly and torticollis, brachial plexus injury, muscle diseases, and multiple other genetic and metabolic conditions. She also has experience in post-operative rehabilitation for club foot, heel cord lengthening, spinal fixation for scoliosis, and boney and soft tissue hip surgery. She has additional training in Early Postural Acquisition, Pediatric Gait Analysis and Orthotic Intervention, and Functional Electrical Stimulation (with a focus on Cerebral Palsy). In addition, she has completed courses on sensory and motor processing for postural control. She is passionate about helping families become confident in helping their children along their developmental journey and wants all kids to have the opportunity to be active in whatever way works for them.

⚡️ What is pediatric muscle stim?
It’s the gentle use of low-level electrical currents through small pads on the skin to help “wake up” muscles that need extra support.
When paired with movement, it supports the strengthening of the brain–muscle connection, improving motor learning, coordination, confidence, and even skill development and achievement over time.
Parents who notice muscle weakness, spasticity where surgical correction is being considered, toe walking, or altered movement patterns may find that muscle stim could be a supportive option for their child.
Safe, comfortable, and play-based — muscle stim is one more tool we use at DeveloPT to help kids move, grow, and thrive. 🌱

🧠✨ October is ADHD Awareness Month
ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, focus, and self-regulation. Every child with ADHD experiences it differently — some may struggle more with inattention, while others with hyperactivity or impulsivity.
It’s not about being lazy or unmotivated. With the right support, strategies, and encouragement, kids with ADHD can thrive at home, in school, and in their communities.
At DeveloPT, we celebrate neurodiversity and help children build strength, confidence, and tools that support their everyday lives.
What’s one strength you see in kids with ADHD? 💬

This day is about raising awareness, breaking barriers, and celebrating the incredible strength of children and families living with CP.
At DeveloPT, we are honored to support kids with cerebral palsy through play-based, empowering physical therapy. Every milestone matters, big or small.
Did you know? Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood, and every child’s journey looks different. That’s why individualized care and community support are so important.
