KARMEN STEWART
-PHYSICAL THERAPY-
PT, DPT
My name is Karmen Stewart and I am a physical therapist. I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts degrees from the University of Iowa and went on to get my doctorate of physical therapy from Clake University. I have been a licensed physical therapist since 2012. I have specialized in pediatric physical therapy since 2015. My favorite part of working with the pediatric population is being able to work with the family as a whole, not only with the child but educating the caregivers as well. I am a hands on therapist and work with children one on one to demonstrate skills for caregivers to continue to work on between therapy sessions. Being a physical therapist I focus on gross motor skills including: rolling from back to tummy and tummy to back, tummy time skills like pushing up onto hands and pivoting, pushing up onto hands and knees, hands and knees crawling, sitting up on their own, pulling up to stand at surfaces, cruising along surfaces and walking independently. Along with the gross motor skills I focus on overall strength and balance activities in sitting, tummy time, supported standing or independent standing to be able to progress to the next age appropriate gross motor skills. I prefer to work with families in person but will use teletherapy when needed or necessary for families as well as seeing kids at their daycares if that works best for caregivers.
