Is This For You?

Are you a parent of a child with disabilities who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where to turn next? Maybe you're constantly advocating, coordinating care, and physically managing your child's needs, while quietly feeling burnt out, anxious, or in pain yourself.

 

You're doing everything you can for your child. But you deserve support too.

 

At Foundation First Physical Therapy, we help parents feel strong, confident, and supported through two core services: pediatric physical therapy for your child, and personalized caregiver coaching for you.

Pediatric Physical Therapy

Our therapy is play-based, child-led, and neurodiversity-affirming — meaning we follow your child's interests, honor their neurology, and build goals around what matters most to your family. We come to you, working in your home so that skills develop in the environment where your child actually lives. And because we believe the caregiver is part of the equation, our PT model includes coaching woven in. You won't just watch from the sidelines. You'll understand what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how to carry it into the rest of your week.

Caregiver Coaching

Because someone needs to be asking how YOU are doing. Whether you need help building sustainable care systems, reducing physical strain, navigating services, or just getting everything out of your head and into a plan that actually works, this is where we start. Support is available in-home in the Chelmsford, MA area and virtually nationwide.

You don't have to keep running on empty. Let's build a stronger foundation, starting with you.

She’s informative, easy to talk to and is fun to be around. I am grateful for the time my daughter and I had with her and would highly recommend her. To have her help means you are getting the best service possible!

Paige was simply wonderful with our 9 year old! She helped her immensely physically, to where our daughter went from pain to no pain through her time with Paige. Paige also made PT so fun for our daughter that she looked forward to classes AND her siblings begged to be allowed to join. We couldn't recommend Paige more for both adults and kids!

Thank you for all the care and support you've given him. He not only made great progress during your sessions, but with your help, we were also able to get him fitted for orthotics-something that will make a huge difference in his mobility moving forward.
