Philip
Parent of a 3-year-old treated for motor development delays.
 

We are beyond grateful for the care and expertise of our pediatric physical therapist, Katie Messineo. She truly changed our lives. When my son began his therapy due to his weak core and torticollis, his action plan projected cruising in six months — instead, he was walking in just three. Katie’s dedication to his progress was incredible. She has the most calming, reassuring presence with children. I often called her the baby whisperer — even when she was gently maneuvering my son through his painful torticollis, he felt safe and comforted. Her approach was thoughtful, patient, and deeply compassionate. What set her apart was how she turned therapy into play. She created fun, engaging games that never felt like chores but blended seamlessly into playtime, making progress feel natural and joyful for my son. I cannot stress enough how her work with son was life changing for our family. Her skill, creativity, and genuine care made all the difference, and we will forever be thankful for the impact she had on son Giovanni's gross motor development.
