TESTIMONIALS
Parents Recommend
Bridget M.
"Carina always has amazing ideas to help push Elle to the next level. I was especially impressed during a virtual appointment when Elle was beginning to cruise and stand independently. Carina was able to list off the top of her head various exercises and games using the furniture and toys she saw in the room. She followed up by sending use additional ideas! Now, Elle is just shy of 15 months and has been walking for the last month! This would not have been the case if weren't for Carina's expertise."

"Finding out your child has a physical disability is a very emotional and uncertain time in any parents life. When I first met Carina I could tell she genuinely loved her job and had a wealth of knowledge to bring to the table. Carina is kind, patient, companionate and truly cares about her clients and because of this she has become more like family to us. She has managed to make physical therapy fun and something to look forward to. I couldn't recommend Carina enough! "

It’s not always easy to find a therapist who checks all of the boxes, but for us, Carina Torres does that and more.
Over the past 3 1/2 years Carina has worked with both of our sons and continues to provide services for our youngest. The progress our sons have made through working with her is a testament to her extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of PT. Our boys adore her because of her positivity, her calm, gentle demeanor, and her genuine personality. In addition, she not only encourages and motivates them, but us, as well! Carina always takes the time to thoroughly explain what she is working on and why. She makes certain that we are comfortable with how to continue the exercises on our own after the session.
Carina found her calling in Pediatric PT. We are so grateful to have connected with her years ago (through the strong referral of another pediatric PT) and we cannot recommend her highly enough to others. We honestly couldn’t imagine a better pediatric PT than Carina Torres.
