TESTIMONIALS
It is such a great help that Ali can visit your house to do an evaluation, as opposed to driving your child to a doctor's office. We really enjoyed her visit! She was very professional and kind and managed to engage my son in order to conduct evaluation (which is not not easy) Overall, a great experience.
Erin was great and I will recommend her to any of my friends who might need a physio for their littles ones. Her detailed report and recommendation for our 2 month old baby boy were very reassuring and helpful. I couldn't expect a better service.
