Infant physical therapy in Avon, Indiana

Gentle help with how your baby moves, with you in the room

Tumble sees babies and toddlers who prefer to look one way, find feeding positions awkward or are slow to roll, sit or crawl. Your physical therapist watches your baby play and shows you what to try at home.

Four things parents tell us first

You do not need a name for it. Tell us what you have noticed, and Aubrey takes it from there.

  • Looks one way

    Your baby prefers to turn or tilt their head to one side, or one side of the head looks flatter.

  • Fusses on their tummy

    Tummy time is short and loud, or your baby is slow to push up, reach and roll.

    Read more
  • Slow to sit, crawl or walk

    Your baby sits, crawls, pulls up or steps later than you expected, or moves in a way that looks different.

  • Feeding is hard to position

    Holding your baby for a bottle or breast feels awkward, or a head turn gets in the way.

A visit you lead

How your first visit goes

You stay with your baby the whole time. Aubrey watches, explains and guides your hands.

  1. 01

    Step 1: You tell us about your baby

    Aubrey starts with your questions and your week: how your baby feeds, sleeps, plays and moves, and what you have noticed.

  2. 02

    Step 2: We watch your baby play

    On a mat, with toys, at your baby's pace. Aubrey looks at how your baby turns, reaches, rolls and rests, and stops for a feed or a cuddle whenever you need.

  3. 03

    Step 3: You hold, Aubrey guides

    She shows you how to hold, carry and move your baby. You do the handling and she guides your hands, so your baby stays with the person they trust.

  4. 04

    Step 4: You choose what to try

    Aubrey explains what she saw in plain words, with the choices and any risks. You decide together what to try first and when to come back.

  5. 05

    Step 5: You leave with play ideas

    A few ways to play at home, shown on your own baby and written down. With your OK, we send your pediatrician a short note.

In the room

Every toy has a job

Aubrey picks play that makes your baby reach, grip, turn and push. You see which toy does what, and take the ideas home.

  • Small hands stack wooden blocks into a tower on a rug

    Blocks

    Reaching, gripping and letting go, and passing a block from one hand to the other.

  • Small hands fit wooden shapes into a puzzle board

    Shape puzzle

    Turning a wrist and fitting a piece with a finger and thumb, with both hands working together.

  • Small hands thread wooden beads onto a string

    Beads on a string

    Small, careful movements and steady eyes and hands, for a baby who is ready to try.

How fees work

You pay for each visit yourself, and you know what to expect in writing before you book.

  • If you pay yourself

    You pay for each visit yourself, on the day. We tell you what to expect before you book, and Kevin confirms it in writing. We do not bill Medicare or other plans.

  • Receipts for reimbursement

    You get a detailed receipt after each visit to send to your plan. Your plan decides whether it reimburses you.

  • An estimate in advance

    A written Good Faith Estimate comes before your first visit, so you know what to expect before you book.

  • What the first visit includes

    About an hour with Aubrey, a physical therapist: she listens, watches your baby play and agrees on a plan with you.

Who you will meet

Aubrey treats your baby. Kevin answers the phone, books your visit and sends your written estimate.

Questions parents ask first

Do I need a referral?

In Indiana you can start physical therapy without a referral. If you send a receipt to your plan, your plan may ask for one. We also ask you to tell your baby's pediatrician you are coming, and with your OK we send a short note.

Do you take my insurance or Medicare?

We do not bill Medicare or other plans. You pay for each visit yourself, and we give you a detailed receipt to send to your plan, which decides whether it reimburses you.

How long is a visit, and who treats my baby?

The first visit is about an hour. Aubrey, a physical therapist, treats every visit herself, and you stay with your baby throughout.

Will my baby cry?

Babies sometimes fuss, and that is fine. Aubrey slows down, stops for a feed or a cuddle, and tries again. You can stop whenever you like.

May you take photos or video of my baby?

Not unless you say yes in writing. You can agree to one photo and say no to another, and you can change your mind at any time.
