October is National Physical Therapy Month!
Physical therapy is about so much more than exercises.
It’s helping a baby discover what their body can do.
It’s watching a toddler take a brave new step.
It’s helping a child build confidence in the playground.
It’s giving an athlete the tools to move stronger, recover, and perform with confidence.
And it’s empowering parents to feel confident supporting their child long after a therapy session ends.
At Thrive, we celebrate every milestone, big or small, and every moment a child realizes, “I can do hard things!” ✨
I’m so grateful to be part of a profession that helps people move, grow, participate, and discover their potential.
To my patients, families, referral partners, and everyone who supports Thrive—thank you for being part of this journey. You’re a big part of why I love what I do. 💚
Here’s to celebrating the power of movement—not just this month, but every day! 🌱

Had the opportunity to step outside the clinic today and speak with the incredible educators at Festus Early Childhood, Elementary & Intermediate Schools! 🧠💪🏼📚

Movement isn’t something that should compete with learning — it can actually help make learning more successful.

Today we talked about:
✨ How movement impacts attention, regulation, engagement & participation
✨ Designing purposeful brain breaks that support—not interrupt—learning
✨ Ways to use movement to help students get ready to learn
✨ Why the body and brain work best when we treat them as a team

I loved getting to share a little of the pediatric PT perspective and brainstorm practical ways movement can be woven into the school day. When we support the body, we create better opportunities for the brain to learn. ❤️

So thankful for schools and educators who are willing to think outside the box and recognize that movement and learning belong together! 🏃🏼‍♀️🧠📖

If you’re part of a local school and interested in offering something like this for your staff feel free to reach out! I’d love chat and see what we could do for you!

Rich in life because I create a job where work doesn’t feel like work. 💚🌱
This month at Thrive has been full of the things I dreamed about when I started this little business:
✨ Welcoming new patients + families
👣 Play Lab with our littlest movers, ages 0–4
🏈 Football team recovery sessions
💪 Individual athlete recovery sessions
🤍 New families finding Thrive through word of mouth
📲 So many of you liking, sharing, commenting, and interacting with our posts
🌱 And countless little moments that remind me exactly why I started
Every referral, registration, share, like, kind message, and word of encouragement means more than you know.
Thank you for helping this dream grow. I truly feel so blessed . 💚

Things I’m NOT afraid to tell you as a pediatric PT… 👀💚
Sometimes the things parents need to hear aren’t the things they want to hear.
🚫 No jumpers of any kind before 8 months — and honestly, I’d rather you skip them altogether.
🌱 Every child develops differently. BUT… consistently missing milestones isn’t something I recommend simply brushing off. Early movement challenges can affect how a child builds their next skills—and sometimes continue to impact participation and function as they grow.
⏰ Please don’t “wait and see” when you have concerns. Early intervention matters.
My job isn’t to tell you what sounds good. It’s to give you honest, evidence-informed guidance, explain the why, and help you feel confident knowing what to do next.
Because sometimes the most supportive thing I can say is: let’s not wait. 💚

🎒 Back-to-school movement minute 🌙
After a full day of learning, sitting, playing, socializing, and taking in SO much information, some little bodies need help slowing down.
Try a few minutes of:
🤗 Slow, heavy movement
🙆 Gentle stretching
🌬️ Slow breathing
🧸 Cuddles + calming sensory input
📵 A quieter environment
The goal isn't to wear your child out.
It's to help them transition from “go, go, go” → “slow down.” 💚
Save this for your next bedtime reset! 🌙

“Does my insurance cover it?” is often the first question parents ask when looking for pediatric PT.
And it’s an important one—but it may not be the only question worth asking. 💚
Insurance can absolutely be a great option for some families. But depending on your plan, copays, deductibles, out-of-network benefits, visit limits, and the type of care you're looking for, the answer isn't always as simple as “insurance is cheaper.”
And cash-based care doesn't automatically mean “more expensive.”
It’s worth comparing the total cost + the type of care your child will receive.
Because when it comes to your child, you deserve to understand your options and choose what makes the most sense for your family. 🌱
📌 Save this post for the next time you're comparing pediatric PT options—and send it to a parent who may need to hear this!

These are the movement foundations that help kids feel confident and capable throughout their school day. 💚

Tummy time doesn’t have to mean putting your baby on the floor with a timer. 💚
There are SO many ways to build those important tummy-time opportunities into your day:
✨ Chest-to-chest
✨ Over a towel or rolled blanket
✨ Across your lap
✨ On a therapy/exercise ball
✨ On an elevated, supported surface
The goal is movement + exploration + opportunity

Find the positions your baby enjoys, meet them where they are, and build from there. 🌱
Save this for the next time your baby says, “Absolutely not” to floor tummy time.
