Dr. Laurie Whorton

Dr. Laurie Whorton 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.

Sophia’s mom trusted her gut, acted early, and her baby avoided a helmet progress IS possible.

What questions do you have about your baby?

"Wait and see” isn’t always safe advice.
Every week you wait, your baby’s brain is building patterns that are harder to change later.
Early action doesn’t mean rushing it means responding. 💛

If tummy time always ends in tears, you’re not failing, it's normal. Crying doesn’t mean it’s bad, just that it’s hard. With the right positions (like starting with a baby on your chest), tummy time gets easier for both of you.

Comment “YES” if tummy time has been a struggle for you.

Parents often wonder if it’s safe to do tummy time after feeding.

The truth: it’s not dangerous, but babies with reflux may struggle. Since newborns eat and sleep so often, the windows are small but with the right timing, you can still fit it in.

Comment ‘TUMMY TIME’ if this helps clear things up.

Sophia’s pediatrician said to ‘wait and see.’ Her mom chose to act early instead and Sophia never needed a helmet.

Comment “EARLY” if you believe early action matters.

Milestones will come but only if the foundation is strong. Core stability comes first.

Comment “CORE” if you’re ready to build the foundation.
