Jhoanna Rae Marquez - Pediatric Physical Therapist in Easton, PA
Helping Kids Thrive with Physical Therapy
Hi, I'm Jhoanna Rae!
I'm an eclectic Physical Therapist with over 21 years of experience. For the past decade, I've focused my practice on providing care and support for pediatric patients.
I wear many hats: wife, mother to four amazing humans, Doctor of Acupuncture, and Chinese Medicine Herbalist (currently pursuing licensure). I take a holistic approach to helping my patients, parents, and caregivers. As a certified health coach, I'm able to provide direct support to parents caring for children who need a variety of developmental therapies. My training in yoga and meditation are also part of my therapeutic toolbox.
I believe in integrating different tools and strategies to create the best possible outcomes for my kids and their families!
Why I love what I do:
I love spending one-on-one time with my patients and collaborating with parents and caregivers to create a plan that works for their lifestyle—making it accessible, achievable, and sustainable for lasting impact.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I get to know my patients and their support system on a personal level within their home environment, which I believe allows us to build more trust within our relationship.
What Does a Physical Therapist Do?
Developmental physical therapists support children in building movement and motor skills—so they can grow, explore, and move with confidence. If your child struggles with things like walking, climbing stairs, balance, or coordinating movements, a pediatric PT can help.
Pediatric PTs focus on:
- Gross motor skills – like crawling, walking, running, jumping, or riding a bike
- Balance and coordination – helping kids feel steady on their feet and move smoothly between activities
- Strength and endurance – building the muscle power kids need for play, sports, and daily activities
- Movement patterns – teaching proper ways to move that prevent injury and support healthy development
- Mobility and independence – helping kids navigate stairs, playgrounds, and their environment safely
Pediatric developmental physical therapy supports kids at home, at school, and during play—so they can feel confident and capable in how they move through their world every day.
