Helping patients breathe, speak, eat, sleep, digest, and feel - better.

9 people. 1 team. So many hopes for BodyWorks. 🤍

Today we took a moment to dream about what we want our clinic, our team, and the families we serve to experience.

We each wrote down five things we strive for, hope for, and believe in, and seeing them all together reminded us just how aligned we are.

Different strengths. Shared vision. One BodyWorks. ✨

We’re so grateful for this team and excited for what’s ahead!

💙 We’re Looking for Our Next Teammate! 💙

Bodyworks Therapy Specialists is growing, and we’re looking for a Physical Therapist (or an exceptional PTA) to join our team

We’re not searching for someone who already knows everything. We’re looking for someone who loves to learn.

The ideal person is someone who:
✨ Values collaboration over competition
✨ Pursues excellence in everything they do
✨ Is curious and committed to lifelong learning
✨ Loves building meaningful relationships with patients, families, and teammates
✨ Wants to be challenged, mentored, and inspired

We believe that when people breathe better, sleep better, eat better, and move better, they live better. That’s the difference we’re passionate about making every day.

We have the privilege of working with both pediatric and adult patients in a collaborative, innovative environment where you’ll continually learn and grow. If our specialty areas are new to you, don’t let that stop you. We love mentoring clinicians who are eager to learn and committed to providing exceptional care.

At the end of the day, we believe this:

We can teach skills. We can’t teach heart, integrity, curiosity, humility, or a genuine desire to serve others. Those are the qualities we’re hoping to find.

If you think you’d be a great fit (or know someone who would) we’d love to connect.

Please tag someone who might be interested or send your resume to [email protected]. We can’t wait to meet our next teammate! 💙

Can you guess which SLP said what? 🎉 We asked our speech-language pathologists some serious — and not-so-serious — questions, and the answers did NOT disappoint. Drop your guesses in the comments! 👇

This May, we recognize Pediatric Feeding Disorder Awareness Month. The numbers demand our attention.

1 in 4 children experience feeding difficulties, making it one of the most prevalent yet under-recognized childhood conditions. PFD encompasses difficulties with eating and drinking that impact a child's health, nutrition, and quality of life and it can present at every stage of development.

Red flags 🚩🚩 by age:

Infants: Poor latch, pain with feeding, feeding refusal, slow feeding rate, noisy feeding, coughing, low weight gain, respiratory distress during feeds

Toddlers: Extreme food selectivity, mealtime distress, gagging or vomiting with new textures, difficulty chewing or swallowing

Older children: Nutritional gaps, social avoidance around food, significant anxiety at mealtimes, sudden changes in feeding habits

The pathway is clear: awareness generates recognition, recognition drives referrals, and referrals connect children to the interdisciplinary care that works.
Early intervention isn't just beneficial, it's transformative. And it starts with someone knowing what to look for.

Share this month. Talk about PFD. Be the reason a family finally gets answers.
🧡

Emma’s progress is a powerful reminder of what consistent therapy, family support, and hard work can achieve. 💛

When Emma began therapy, she had over 75 different sound errors, which made her speech difficult for others to understand.

At her recent re-evaluation using standardized articulation testing, the results showed tremendous improvement:

✨ Sound errors reduced from 75+ to just 8
✨ Percentile rank increased from below the 0.01 percentile to the 25th percentile

Even more importantly, these gains are showing up in her everyday speech across environments, not just in therapy sessions.

A huge part of this success belongs to Emma’s family. They consistently completed weekly home programs, actively participated in therapy, and supported carryover of strategies at home. Speech therapy progress doesn’t happen in the therapy room alone. Our role as clinicians is to give families the tools, and Emma’s family put those tools into action.

Her speech is clearer, her confidence is growing, and her hard work is paying off.

We are incredibly proud of Emma and her dedication! 👏

Serving up language skills one latte at a time! ☕💬
Language therapy often looks like play, and that’s exactly the point. Play motivates, encourages turn-taking and labeling, and helps little ones practice communication naturally. Today, sweet Dowie made great strides, practicing his expressive language skills through playful, meaningful activities. With our SLPs, learning happens in ways that are fun, engaging, and build real-life communication skills.
