What We Do

Our goal is to let your child “play” and work at the same time

Physical therapy is the treatment of physical dysfunction or injury by the use of specifically designed exercises and equipment to help facilitate physical development or restore normal function.

The exercise program will be curtailed to your child’s needs and will be based on an evaluation of your child’s physical development and functional abilities.

Our Happy Clients!

I had taken my son to many different PT’s with no results or any kind of improvement. I wasted precious time that my child needed and I believe that he would have been even better had I started right away with Stepsn’Strides. Leila is fantastic with him. She sings and always changes to a different exercise or activity which keeps my child entertained and happy while he is learning so much. Leila went above and beyond to help my child and words cannot explain how happy I am with her. She made him feel safe and secure and he wanted to do what she would ask him to do. He is always happy to see her and work with her. I was amazed with the variety of equipment she had. He is a different child today thanks to Leila. My suggestion is to have more Leila’s so children in need can have their own Leila.

We love Dr. Leila Wong. She works really hard on helping my son. I see her love and concern with Elijah and the way she exercises him is amazing. Every session is different. I am happy to see a lot of improvement. My son can now sit on the floor, can do crisscross, lift his arms and can lift his legs straight up. Our goal is for him to get up from the floor without arm support. The Steps n Strides staff are very helpful, accommodating, friendly and kind. The therapists are excellent, knowledgeable and I am so ever thankful to Dr. Leila for helping my son. I am so glad and thankful we found Steps n Strides. This clinic loves their patients. You're not going to regret bringing your child or family members here.

My youngest was 19 months old and not walking. We tried to navigate Early Intervention and had been in the system for months with no help and then I discovered Steps n’ Strides. My son is turning 7 next month and has been with Leila since 2016. In that time, he has also started receiving speech and OT. The difference that I see in my son is tremendous. He has built his strength and his confidence and has learned skills that he uses in his daily life. My youngest has been seeing Leila and Liz for almost 2 years and aside from taking his first steps there and developing his language skills, he just thoroughly enjoys being around the ladies. I highly recommend Steps n’ Strides – every single person working there is kind, caring, thoughtful and amazing!

My son has seen Leila since he was 2 years old when he was still in diaper. Now he is a jumping, running 4-year old. I am so lucky to have found Leila as my son's PT. She is so thorough and so experienced. I remember the first time we met. She spent an hour just to evaluate my son from head to toe. She would listen to every little detail of my concerns and she would give me feedback immediately from her experiences. Thanks to Leila, now my son has improved a lot. He still needs PT but Leila and I are always on the same page, always thinking of a better PT plan for my son. She always adjusts her PT session accordingly to my son's changing condition. I feel very confident to let her continue be my son's PT and I believe one day with her help, he will be PT free.

My child, Keira was born premature and weighed 2 lbs. We had brought her to Steps n' Strides for Physical therapy and they have made a great deal of difference. We have been with them since my daughter Keira even turned 1. My daughter Keira has strived beautifully. All the staff that has been working at Steps n' Strides have helped her build her confidence and strengthen all her muscle weakness . They have been a source of physical and emotional support. We are so thankful and full of gratitude that we have been working with Leila!! I would recommend Steps n' Strides PT. They have helped and still continue to work and improve my daughter's physical weakness.

Angela F.

As many parents, we had difficulty finding in-person PT for our son during Covid and therefore we felt our son regressed during the 1st half of the Covid shutdown. When partial openings began, we were absolutely blessed with Leila! We were very fortunate that after working with the DOE to get our son PT, we scheduled with Leila in-person. Our son had decreased muscle strength of the trunk and the lower extremities. He was unable to walk down the stairs reciprocally and exhibited immaturity in walking and running. Jumping skills and balance were very weak. Keeping a long story short, the facilities that Leila works with is unmatched anywhere we have been. Her genuine care and loving atmosphere made our son progress in such a short time and not only did he love going to see Leila, he would cry when leaving. Words can not express how thankful we are to find Leila. She is certainly a seasoned therapist who understands the needs of the child and treats her patients in a loving and fun way. I can't stress enough the great service you will receive here. If you are looking for a therapist for your child don't think twice. Go to Steps N Strides and you will see your child flourish under their care. Thank you again Leila!

I LOVE LEILA!!!!!!! She connects with James in such a loving way. He has dramatically improved with her help. She is innovative and keeps her parents involved. The facility is clean and feels like home. Sarah is kind, helpful and efficient. I am lucky that James has made a friend in Leila. He never behaves as if he is going to be challenged when he gets there. He has so much fun he doesn't realize its work. The sensory gym is the perfect blend of fun with purpose! I feel safe leaving James in the care of the staff.

Leila and Faye are amazing at what they do. They really individualize each child’s needs and work with them accordingly to achieve goals.

There are a lot of good things that I like about Step n' Strides. Dedicated and caring therapists and great office staff who try to accommodate your schedules and constraints. I feel like the center is my extended family with whom I can talk about my child's difficulty in any area and get some advice. Best of all, my son looks forward to meeting his therapists!

Revathy K.

What I love about Steps n’ Strides: The therapists' caring, patience and dedication bring the best out of the children. The children have fun while progressing. The therapists know when to push the children and when to build on the relationship, which is a tough balance. They match exceptional technical skill with the highest compassion, which is a hard combination to find. Thank you for your dedication to our child and our family. You have been with us every step of the way, and we are so grateful to have you in our lives!

First, you can tell how much Leila cares about the children and helping the family. The enthusiasm, attitude, and love she has for the work and children show every day, and has made this tough time in our lives that much easier. She has the patience of a saint and an amazing ability to keep Brandon on track and involved in the exercises. She is always willing to listen and offer advice on exercises and activities we can also perform at home. We consider Leila a part of the family and know we wouldn't be where we are now without her!Leila and Steps n' Strides have gone above and beyond and achieved everything we hoped for since we began physical therapy. We know from experience how difficult it is to trust your child with someone new, but you cannot go wrong with Leila. Our only regret is that we did not find her sooner. I would recommend 1000% without hesitation for anyone seeking physical therapy for their child.

Tano & Anna S.

I am happy so far with Steps n' Strides PT. We like my son's PT teacher, Cathy. My son was not coordinated and now, he is doing better switching feet while going down the stairs. Overall, everyone is friendly.

Jenny Y.

I love Leila. She is so helpful and knowledgeable. She goes above and beyond. My son has torticollis and plagiocephaly and ever since he started going to Steps n’ Strides, we saw a huge improvement in his development. It's been a joy to work with her and my son loves her. She treats you like a person and not just another patient. She taught me so many things as a new mom and has been so helpful on this journey. She helped calm my fears about my son's delays and he has made leaps and bounds in the short time with her. She even gave my husband advice for his own personal injury. The clinic is always clean and ready to go on time. All the staff are friendly. You always try to accommodate my requests. You guys have helped improve my son's condition very much.

I am incredibly lucky to have found Steps n' Strides. Leila is an outstanding physical therapist. My daughter is dealing with global development delay, low muscle tone and sensory disorder. Leila began training to address her core but also to work through her sensory issues. The progress that my daughter made over the years was amazing. Another huge benefit of working with Leila is that she also introduced me to a wonderful OT. The OT partnered with Leila on the comprehensive PT, OT and sensory program. The team of Leila and the OT work very well and because they work together, I am convinced that my daughter is immensely enhanced and has overcome so many hurdles. Leila served as a great support while I, as a parent, was concerned for my child. In addition to Leila's extensive knowledge, experience and capability as a PT, the way she interacts with her clients is what makes her stand out. Lastly, I have to say that Leila is sincerely invested in my daughter's progress and improvement. While my daughter's physical ability is likely a long-term condition, I am grateful to Leila's effort to support me as a parent and provide my daughter the skills for her to succeed in her life.
