PhysioKids PT
A natural approach to pediatric physical therapy
Bringing holistic, high quality pediatric physical therapy into your home.
Hey there! I’m Sara Needler, a naturally-minded mama of three cuties and a pediatric physical therapist. As a mama I understand that getting out the door with one, let alone multiple kiddos, for appointments can be difficult. Doing that multiple times a week, or even a day, leaves us feeling overrun, exhausted, and with less to give to our families. I can only imagine how it leaves our children feeling! That’s why I have created a very unique way to help meet your child’s needs in the comforts of your own home. As a licensed therapist, I travel to you to offer holistic, high quality pediatric physical therapy in your child’s natural environment, where research shows children feel most secure and confident. With this natural approach to addressing your child’s developmental needs, I strive to empower and support families in their journey.
PhysioKids PT is a home/community-based pediatric physical therapy practice offering holistic pediatric physical therapy services for 0-6 year olds in the Southwest Michigan area.
PhysioKids PT was created out of a need that I discovered while previously working in a traditional PT clinic and a need that I started to feel in my heart as a mom. This holistic, alternative approach to physical therapy focuses on the whole child addressing functional movement in a child’s natural environment while offering support to the entire family.
