pediatric physical therapy in Bedford, NH

for babies & toddlers with developmental delays, body tension, torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) & tongue ties

Hi friends, I’m Dr. Brenda Sacino, PT DPT, a pediatric physical therapist in Bedford NH. Playful Progress Pediatric Physical Therapy is here to help you and your child. I love:

  • helping babies feel good and move better

  • listening to parents’ concerns, and helping them come up with a plan

  • teaching families about the magic of developmental milestones

  • helping parents learn how to play (yes, this is a skill!)

  • doing my small part to rid the world of caregiver guilt and worry

Reasons to reach out to me:

  • your baby has an irregular head shape and/or is developing a “flat spot”

  • your baby favors one side of their body over the other (possible torticollis)

  • you feel like your baby might have a tongue tie

  • you feel like your baby is “always uncomfortable” or tight

  • your baby struggles with tummy time

  • your baby has their own unique diagnosis, had a difficult birth, or long hospital stay

Motor milestones magically build on each other as your baby grows and develops, but it isn’t uncommon to get “stuck” along the way.

Let me come to your home to provide skilled physical therapy services and developmental support where children (and their caregivers) learn best!

If getting out of the house is more your style, join me for a Motor Play Workshop for babies 0-12 months, offered weekly in southern NH. Let’s learn and play together!

What Families Have To Say:

  • Brenda is absolutely wonderful! She is so knowledgeable and kind and creates such a great learning environment that is completely judge free! Her play classes have been transformative for myself and my husband. The amount of progress we have seen in our child since attending her classes has been amazing!! Can’t recommend her enough!

  • Dr. Brenda is such an amazing resource when it comes to pediatric physical therapy. My daughter struggles with severe torticollis and plagiocephaly and Dr. Brenda has been working with her since 8 weeks old. She has helped her work through so much and continues to push and challenge her with new stretches and exercises. Playful Progress is helping my daughter overcome every gross motor challenge she faces.

  • I couldn’t recommend or say enough good things about Brenda/Playful Progress. We reached out to her when we started noticing our 3.5 month old with a head tilt and favoring looking to one side during tummy time. As parents we couldn’t help but worry, however Brenda’s approach with us was so comforting and put our minds at ease.

  • Brenda is a sensational resource and powerful presence in her field. She is plugged in, trustworthy, authentic, and the sort of person you want to run around telling everyone about. We are so grateful to know Brenda.

  • Brenda is an absolute joy to work with. While she specializes in early intervention, my wife and I used her proactively with our first baby. As first time parents, it was wonderful to have someone so knowledgeable to show us creative ways to support and encourage our baby’s natural development. Brenda helped show us ways to push her, safely. I cannot recommend her enough.

    Kolby M

  • Brenda gave us daily exercises and movements to practice with our son multiple times a day. We saw great improvement shortly after that. Brenda’s check ins shows her true compassion for not only her job, but her patients. We now successfully have a baby who is happy in tummy time and rolling over and we have Brenda to thank for that!
