Pediatric Physical Therapy

“Can’t speak highly enough about Elina! My son was evaluated for early intervention after not walking at 18 months; we were told it could take months to find a provider that he was comfortable with, and months after that before we’d see any progress and I resigned myself to hoping he would walk by 2 years old. We started working with Elina and within only 5 to 6 sessions he was already taking 15-20 independent steps! He’s taken off and progressed so much since then, and it’s such a joy to see his confidence building, and I really credit so much of his success to our work with Elina! She was so calming and informative during all of our sessions, and gave us lots to work on at home after every session. She was incredibly flexible when dealing with last minute schedule changes on our end and just a joy to work with and a huge asset to our son! Highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a PT to give Elina a call!” -RB

“Dr. Elina is a skilled, caring, and fun pediatric physical therapist! I brought my baby with torticollis and body tension after C-section to Elina when she was 3 months old, and everything resolved quickly and completely. As a PT myself, I appreciate effective care! Elina communicates so well, and is wonderfully hands-on with babies. It’s a bonus that she truly loves them, and it shows!” -AP

“Elina has worked with all three of my children- she understands the body and development of children in remarkable ways.
She makes her sessions fun and enjoyable for kids, no matter the age, and really celebrates every milestone and improvement they make. Her expertise, compassion, and enthusiasm for her work and patients is unmatched. I’ve recommended her to many friends and will continue to do so- she is absolutely the best of the best in her field!” -BG

“Mother of 2 here. Dr Elina worked with two of my children. She is incredibly competent, caring, and understands really well how to deal with children at different ages (she’s is a mom herself). I highly recommend her.” -YH

“Our son has been in and out of PT since 18mo and he is now 6y old. We’ve been working with Elina over the past year to focus on core muscle strength to enhance coordination and balance and have noted SO much progress in such a short amount of time. She took the time to ask about our particular concerns as parents, and set goals to focus on areas of weakness. She also emphasized his strengths in the process. My son found PT fun and couldn’t wait to go each week. An added bonus is that Elina is a local, hard working, relatable, down to earth mom who is kind and patient and calm throughout what can be an otherwise stressful process.” -EC

“I’m not sure where we’d be without Elina. She’s guided us through the last 9 months both physically and emotionally in all the ways possible. She always reassured us and knew exactly what to do and say. My baby needed a lot of catching up with his gross motor skills and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help him get there. Thanks to Elina, he’s a fully mobile baby. Bonus points that they’re best friends now too!” –ET

“I brought my daughter to Elina Physical Therapy after she had difficulty with a previous physical therapist. Elina quickly learned how to work with my daughter in a way that made her (and me) feel comfortable and supported. Elina PT consistently provided instruction, guidance and support. Elina PT is a knowledgable and adept professional. I highly recommend Elina Physical Therapy.” -HA

“We reached out to Elina the moment our premie baby got home from the hospital after a 4-week stay as we were concerned about her having torticollis, which had been undiagnosed. Elina was able to assess her right away and make a treatment plan. She is still following her months later -while our baby’s torticollis is long gone she still needs some help reaching her milestones and we couldn’t be happier with her care!” -JF

“Elina is amazing! We are so grateful for her knowledge, support, and kind nature. She is such a wonderful PT and we are lucky to have found her. Our son just began his work with Elina a few weeks ago and we are already seeing such progress with his gross motor skills. We are looking forward to our continued work together. Thank you, Elina!” -AL

Playgroups

“We love attending Elina’s tummy time classes. Not only is it nice to meet other moms and babies of similar ages to your own , but Elina helps to make you feel so much more confident in playing with your baby and helping them reach their next milestones. She is kind and knowledgeable and her classes are so much fun!” -MR

“I started going to Dr. Elina’s Tummy Time group when my son was 7.5 weeks old. It was so nice to be able to connect with other moms, get incredible general advice from Dr. Elina and of course learn so many different ways to play with and engage my son throughout the day. I give so much credit to Dr. Elina for my son hitting all his developmental milestones on the early side. In addition to all of the PT related moves/activities that she taught us, she was always willing to share personal advice in regards to anything baby related from her experience with her own little ones. I highly recommend her classes!” –AC

“I loved taking Elina’s tummy time class! She was very knowledgeable and provided lots of activities to do with your baby. Each class was engaging and filled with helpful information. Elina is very warm and welcoming and makes you feel comfortable right away! I highly recommend her classes and wish I could continue. The only reason I will no longer be attending is because I have to return to work.” -MW

“We absolutely love going to Elina’s tummy time groups- I wish I found her sooner!!! We have learned so much (me and baby!!) and I feel way more confident playing at home/knowing how to facilitate these important new skills and milestones. We’ve loved meeting other parents and babies. Elina is kind, very knowledgable, and her space is so welcoming (and fun!!). Highly recommend!! Can’t wait for our next class”. -MB

“I’m so glad I found Elina’s playgroup while I was on maternity leave. It was a great way to connect with other moms and learn how to promote my daughter’s development. She is my second child and I learned so much that I never knew with my first. Elina is kind, non-judgemental and supportive. Highly recommend!” -MW

“Elina’s classes are the best! She has created a very welcoming, clean, and safe play and learning space for children. Classes are small and we get a lot of individual attention. Her tips are so helpful, especially as a new mom. We get to meet other parents and babies and have a bit of a social hour while we work on milestone skills. Bonus – our baby is always nice and tired after class and we get a good long nap afterwards.” -JA
