Pediatric Physical Therapist Whorton Pediatric Therapy provides expert pediatric physical therapy services for infants in the comfort and privacy of your home.

Our therapists help your child improve strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility to achieve new gross motor skills and allow your child to safely participate in her environment. Working directly with you, we will evaluate your child's needs and develop a plan of care to help your child attain new skills and meet your developmental goals. We believe that all parents should feel empowered to help their child succeed. With this in mind, our services not only focus on delivering excellent individualized care, but also ensuring that parents feel comfortable understanding the goals and techniques of therapy and carrying out a home program. Physical therapy services are carried out in each child's natural environment. Laurie has been a pediatric physical therapist for 28 years, obtaining her doctorate in PT in 2017. She has had a specific interest in treating babies with torticollis (tight muscle in the neck), flat head syndrome and the developmental delay that can occur with both diagnoses. Laurie recently attended an intensive torticollis class and has a mission of preventing flat heads as well as the developmental delay from this treatable, reversible diagnosis.

A baby can hit milestones on time and still move unevenly. How they move matters just as much as when.

Comment “QUALITY” if you’re confused about milestones.

02/17/2026

Sitting balance isn’t just about core strength.

Head position plays a bigger role than many parents realize.

Small adjustments early can support smoother, steadier movement as skills develop.

02/16/2026

"=Before babies talk, sit, or crawl they move.

Movement builds confidence, coordination, and readiness for skills to come.

Comment “MOVE” if you want to support movement early, and we’ll reach out.

02/15/2026

Babies don’t skip steps. Each layer of strength supports the next milestone.

Comment “LAYERS” if you’re unsure what comes first.

02/14/2026

Babies don’t stop when something feels hard they adjust.

Their bodies find a way to keep moving, even if it means relying more on one side or one pattern.

Understanding this helps parents know when support matters, not because something is wrong, but because balance builds better movement

Fifteen seconds today matters.
Small changes count, even when they don’t look impressive.

Comment “PROGRESS” if you’re unsure whether it’s working, and we’ll reach out.

02/12/2026

When babies feel safe and calm, they stay longer in movement and that’s when strength builds.

Comment “CALM” if you’re struggling to keep play relaxed.

02/11/2026

Movement is how babies learn.

Each small opportunity gives the brain and body a chance to connect, adjust, and grow.

When movement happens regularly, development stays active even in quiet ways we don’t always see.

02/10/2026

When parents understand why something matters, confidence replaces anxiety.
Knowledge doesn’t overwhelm, it empowers.

Comment “CLARITY” if you want clearer guidance, and we’ll reach out.

02/09/2026

Reassurance feels good, but guidance changes outcomes.
Parents deserve clear, calm direction.

Comment “GUIDE” if you’re struggling with conflicting advice.

02/08/2026

The earliest weeks quietly shape the future.

Working hard this weekend...new and exciting things coming your way!!!
