Micayla Pedrick – Pediatric Physical Therapist in Dedham, MA
Helping Kids Thrive with Physical Therapy
Hi, I’m Micayla!
I’m a Physical Therapist with over nine years of experience across early intervention, medical, and school settings, and I've been a Pediatric Clinical Specialist since 2025. I’m passionate about helping children of all abilities fully participate in daily life while empowering families with the tools and support to reach their goals.
Why I love what I do:
I value the meaningful relationships I build with children and their families, which are at the heart of every child’s growth and success.
Why I’m passionate about in-home care:
I believe providing services in a child’s home supports the best carryover through parent and caregiver involvement while allowing me to tailor each session to the child’s unique needs and goals.
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.
