Child Playing

Mission

To provide meaningful, patient centered, and evidence based Physical Therapy to meet the unique needs of your child, and enrich your family’s quality of life.

Who Can Benefit from 
Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapists are often referred to as movement experts. Compass Pediatric Physical Therapy supports maximizing a child’s ability to interact with their environment. Whether that’s an infant needing support to better engage with a toy while enjoying tummy time, or a child building up skills to learn to jump and skip, pediatric physical therapy can support achieving these new skills. Children, like adults, can also be impacted by injuries or illnesses that involve longer term rehabilitation.

 

Compass Pediatric Physical Therapy can help your child by:

Improving strength and endurance

Enabling independent mobility 

Promoting general motor development

Enhancing opportunities to learn

Improving balance and coordination

Increasing participation in activities at home and in the community

About

Celeste Norelius, PT, DPT

Hi! I’m Celeste Norelius, Doctor of Physical Therapy, and I’m so excited to meet you! I am lucky to truly love my work, and I am continually inspired by the creativity, energy, and resilience of the children with whom I have the privilege of working with.

​

As a Physical Therapist I work with families to set personalized treatment plans, including goals that are important and meaningful to them. I find activities that engage each child, target their unique goals, and make the sessions fun and inviting for all.

​

With over a decade of experience working exclusively in pediatrics I have had the chance to work in a variety of settings; I especially love early intervention (0-3 years) and have specialty training to support infants with torticollis, as well as young children working on bowel and bladder control.
