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!”
“Who knew that my anxious, reluctant, middle-school-aged son would end up finding physical therapy to help his encopresis to be fun as well as helpful? Rebecca was able to help him satisfy his curiosities of how the body works, his desire for humor, and his need for attainable goals. She provided choices and allowed input from my son for his treatment which was key to his success. Finding Kid Function PT with Rebecca was a positive experience for my son as he made so much progress, became much less anxious and so much more confident, and has so much more control …. now!”
“After living with pain for two years and trying multiple treatments without success, Rebecca at Kid and Family Function PT helped me find relief through visceral manipulation therapy. Her expertise and compassionate approach made all the difference, and I’m incredibly grateful to have my quality of life back.” -From a 42 year old client.
