The Origin Story of Redefine Pediatric Therapy
Hey everyone and welcome to my blog. My name is Courtney Reed, PT, DPT, I am a mom of two wonderful girls, a wife, a daughter and I grew up here in Spokane. Personally, as a parent myself, I like to know who I am working with when it comes to finding someone who will be working with my child… and social media doesn’t always give you the whole picture. Hence, the blog! I wanted to create a space where you as followers could get to know me, my practice, tips, tricks, research and ramblings of a pediatric physical therapist.
I have been practicing in Spokane as a Pediatric Physical Therapist for the past 8 years at local clinics in town and I truly love my job. What I didn’t love was the clinic atmosphere. I always preferred going in people’s homes, meeting at parks, at community locations (libraries and gyms) to see the child and family at their most comfortable, so I could work my intervention and home programming into their lives in a way that would be most applicable. But I stayed in the clinic setting for a while because I had some amazing coworkers and role models to learn and grow from. From my experience at my two previous clinic locations, Stepping Stones Pediatric Therapy and Youthful Horizons Therapy, I have been able to grow into the clinician I am today with the knowledge I have acquired along the way.
When things began to change for me was after the birth of my second child. I had been talking with my husband about starting a business, but never felt ready to get started. That is until my youngest was born in June of 2025. There’s something about becoming a that changes your brain chemistry and your overall mindset, the change is so permanent and after my second it just solidified my choice to pick my life, my time, my energy and my vision over the comfort of my clinic job. And so, I took a leap of faith and in May of 2026 I opened Redefine Pediatric Therapy.
Redefine Pediatric Therapy is a mobile model, where I come to you in your home, local parks, local private schools and local gyms. I specialize in working with children ages 0-8 years of age, working to address functional movement, motor delays, enhance performance in young athletes and help children reach their motor milestones. Why this age? because I am good at it. I love working with young children because I enjoy being creative, thinking outside the box, making physical therapy fun, and thinking of great ways to get the whole family involved for the benefit of the child!
Redefine Pediatric Therapy is also private pay at this time. Why? because insurance limits what we are able to accomplish. With insurance, there are strict guidelines for which therapy can only work within. With private pay we can address not only direct 1:1 treatment for children with injuries or gross motor delays, but also performance, wellness, and promote improved functional in typically developing kiddos who may otherwise not receive services. Just as we as adults work on improving our health and wellness, I also think it is important to support our youth and model this for them as well.
So with Redefine Pediatric Therapy you get a holistic approach to your child’s motor development, individualized care, and get to pick the environment you prefer for the comfort of your child’s care.
