Onward Pediatric Therapies

So glad this little firecracker from ❌ichigan looked past our proximity to THE Ohio State University and completed an intensive with us for the second year in a row! She and her mom even went to visit the ‘shoe (albeit for the Bruno Mars concert! I mean seriously how cool is she…)

All jokes aside, we are thrilled they came back! She had been out of formal PT for several months leading up to the intensive, just began walking independently without a device a few weeks before our time together and LOOK at what she was doing two weeks after we were done!

She put in so much hard word focusing on dynamic balance, stepping up and down 1-6” steps, increasing hip strength, and using both hands together during OT!

And hands down she jams to the best playlist while doing so!

SO SO proud of you!

We joke that we can read each other’s minds….and most of the time it is true!

What an honor it is to do this job with another professional that shares your passion! Two sets of eyes, two pairs of hands, one common love for our kids 🫶🏻 🥰

Proud of how hard this guy has been working during his co-treat intensive…more to come from him!

Here we are using the Levity Gait trainer combined with some NISE-Stim, Kyrios compression suit and whole body vibration to work on improved upright posture to activate a toy against gravity!

⚡️This month we are highlighting NISE-Stim, or Non-Invasive Spinal Electrical stimulation. We have been incorporating this treatment modality for over a year!

📜 Whitney is a certified NISE-Stim therapist, certified in all levels, and Lara is trained in NISE-Stim level 1. We are currently the only two providers in the state of Ohio!

📸 Swipe to see some pictures of how we have been incorporating it into our sessions!

This little guy wrapped up his first intensive a few weeks ago and we are so proud of him! His family has been rigorously doing his home NISE-Stim protocol and did some outpatient DMI therapy and let me tell you, he is making SO MUCH progress!

We saw an independent stand from the floor, several independent steps and overall improved standing alignment, endurance and confidence!

We can’t wait to follow along and see what all he accomplishes!

Side note…one of my funniest kiddos ever. He had jokes on jokes! We had such a fun week 💕

He’s back for round ✌🏻

We are focusing on using NISE-stim to help activate his glutes (peep those squats and tall kneeling!).

So proud of him and ready to crush it again next week!

💙✨ It’s OT Month! ✨💙

AKA the people who turn play into progress, sneaking in hand strength, fine motor skills, coordination, sensory work, and reflex integration without the kids even noticing 😉

We hype up the smallest wins like they won Olympic gold 🥇

But behind the scenes, it’s all about helping kids build the skills they need for real life - playing, learning, gaining independence, and growing confidence 💚

It might look like play, but there’s a whole lot of work behind it 💪🏼

We’re so grateful to do what we do and be part of your child’s journey!

👉🏼 Tell us below - what’s a “little win” your child has had in OT lately? Because we’re celebrating ALL of them! 💙

Not every child needs weekly therapy… Sometimes parents just need the right support.

Our Parent Support Sessions provide one-on-one support with a licensed pediatric OT or PT to help you understand your child’s development, motor skills, and sensory/emotional regulation needs. These sessions are perfect for families who want expert advice, home strategies, or help problem-solving specific concerns without committing to ongoing clinic visits.

Sessions are available by phone, virtual video, or in person at the clinic, your home, work, or the community.

Parent Support is ideal for:
•Families transitioning out of therapy
•Parents with developmental questions
•Sensory, behavior, or regulation concerns
•Motor delay concerns
•Feeding concerns
•Home program or equipment support
•New parents wanting reassurance or guidance

Choose the option best for you:
💙 1-time session, 45-min, $80-$100
💚 5-session package, 45-min each, $375-$450

🥰 You would never know by the smile on his face how much hard work this guy put in this week!! This highlight reel could have been much much longer!

He responded so well to the tone modulation NISE-stim settings and the Kyrios Suit which helped him with trunk stability and breaking some of that extensor tone!

Not pictured were his absolute favorite times on this swing 🥰 A big thank you to his family for their time commitment, assist during sessions and being such great advocates for him!
