 Mariz began physical therapy at Heartspring at age six with a strong desire to walk by himself. Diagnosed at 15 months with cerebral palsy, he was fast and efficient at walking with his walker. Mariz was afraid to stand by himself, taking small ‘baby steps’ with full support. On the treadmill, Denise Begnoche, physical therapist, has been successfully teaching him to take longer strides. > |

 Because of the tireless effort of the Heartspring physical therapy staff, we have witnessed many miracles – a five year old daughter embracing her mother after taking her first independent steps into her arms, a young boy who is determined to be independent with the encouragement of his therapist and a 10 year old girl with cerebral palsy riding a bicycle without training wheels, an activity her mom thought she’d never see. It is the staff at Heartspring that makes us successful, and we are fortunate to have skilled therapists who seek to help every child achieve.
