Hi Everyone,
My 4yr old daughter has been diagnosed with JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) and is requiring some physical therapy and occupational therapy. I haven't had much luck searching online and wondered if any of you knew some great specialists who work primarily with children in the PT and OT world. Thanks for your help!
Thanks everyone for your help! Children's Boston Hospital referred us to Elliot Rehab Services in Manchester. Everyone is really friendly there, we are seeing Jon Greenwood, who, thus far, has been amazing with my daughter. We're going twice a week, once in the rehab room and once in the rehab pool. We are already seeing a difference in her joints and range of motion! I appreciate all your thoughts and advice, it was very helpful in narrowing down our search!
Hi N.,
Not sure where you live but there is a PT at Elliot Hospital in Manchester named Jill Mack. My daughter saw her for torticollis and low muscle tone, she was great. Hope this helps.
Hi N. -
Not sure where you live, but I am a pediatric OT... I work at Easter Seals in Manchester, although this clinic specializes in Sensory Integration. I know a great PT in Nashua, and another great OT in Concord. If you would like more info, let me know!
Hello, there is a great place in Londonderry called Kidz Play they have a fantastic facility and a wealth of experienced personel.
Hope this is helpful!
You should get a referral from your doctor..but my osn gets PT & has had OT here
DTS Merrimack NH
Where was she diagnosed? they could refer you..as you should get someone with experience with her condition.
I am also on a Yahoo group for healthy preemies (my sons health is good..he has had many delays, he is 4 1/2) look for a group for just her condition and you can find parents going thru the same thing.
Support groups are amazing as people have been where you are and can help get to the next point..here ya go:
