ALEXANDRA BUWALDA PEDIATRIC PHYSICAL THERAPY

I am a New York State licensed pediatric physical therapist based in Park Slope, Brooklyn.  Having previously worked in the United Kingdom and Belgium, I moved to the United States twenty years ago.

My goal is to help infants and children attain their gross motor skills and achieve their highest level of independence within their environment. In particular, my focus is on developing basic motor skills such as sitting, rolling, crawling, or walking, as well as more advanced motor skills such as balance and coordination. Other issues that may need to be addressed are loss of range of motion, strength, and flexibility (possibly due to injury, illness, or surgery).

UPDATE: now also offering video conferences for those families living too far to come to my office.

• I now also offer video conferences in the safe and convenient environment of your home. Even though it will not replace a therapeutic hands-on session, I will guide you through some simple but effective handling techniques to promote your child’s gross motor development. You will have to reside in NY State for me to offer remote physical therapy sessions. If you live outside of NY State, I can still offer hands-on advice, but I cannot bill you as a physical therapist, it will be considered a private consultation (and cannot be reimbursed by health insurance).

• I continue offering home visits (if you live within the vicinity) and in-person office visits. I follow strict infection control guidelines and protocols according to the CDC and state regulations.
