Testimonials
“Rebecca was such a positive, attentive, and comforting therapist for my
middle school-aged daughter who needed help in managing stress
incontinence. At such an impressionable and uncomfortable age, Rebecca …set attainable goals for working through exercises and it worked! My daughter continues to successfully regulate her condition.”
“After years of (incontinence), my 9 year old is having successful toileting habits thanks to Rebecca! Autism made it difficult for my daughter to communicate what was happening in her body, but Rebecca was able to pinpoint the issue almost immediately. Beyond that, Rebecca was flexible and able to adapt to my daughters needs that had kept other therapies from being successful… (my daughter) actually looked forward to physical therapy!”
“Visceral Manipulation is the only thing that has helped my abdominal pain.” -From an adult client.
Kid and Family Function PT is credentialed with most commercial insurances.
