“Jaime has been instrumental in our son’s physical development. Let’s be honest, physical therapy is hard! But, his motivation and sense of humor has kept Charlie engaged for years, and that is no easy task. An expert communicator with children, Jaime skillfully incorporates kids’ interests to engage them in the work. He has made therapy fun, which has Charlie looking forward to his sessions.
There’s nobody better for pediatric physical therapy than Jaime.”

“Jaime Clevenger was a game-changer for our 3-year-old, autistic son. Crosby had poor hand eye coordination, weak gross motor skills, and difficulty with balance. We met Jaime when he was working in a program for children with special needs. When we found out he was leaving to focus on being a PT independently, we knew we had to follow. We know that there are some therapists who have that special something and when you find them, you need to make sure to keep them in your child’s life.
Jaime is playful and encouraging and warm, all of which helped Crosby be more flexible so he could actually benefit from PT. PT for a child is about much more than just their physical well-being, as you need to be able to engage and support a child in order to help them physically.
What I can say is that Jaime has an immense knowledge base about how to increase strength and practice motor skills, but he also pairs it with an intuitive understanding that the physical is not detached from the social/emotional needs of a child, especially one with special needs. He connected with my son, built up my son’s confidence, increased Crosby’s physical capabilities, and even helped ME learn how to help my son.
Jaime is truly a gifted therapist, as well as a genuinely caring and wonderful person. We feel lucky to have had the chance to work with him and have him in our son’s life!”

“Jaime worked with my two daughters over the course of two years. My youngest was six months old when she started working with Jaime. It was around that time that she was diagnosed with torticollis and plagiocephaly. Jaime was great about working with her helmet and modifying her PT to meet her needs.
My oldest was about a year old when she started working with Jaime. She has been diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum and she has always been a very sensitive kid. She really gave Jaime a run for his money for about six months, but Jaime came to every session with patience, kindness, and optimism. I can say without reservation that Jaime is a gifted therapist and that my kids are lucky to have him in their corner.
I have worked with many therapists (physical, occupational, speech, ABA, Special Ed) and Jaime is in a league of his own. Truly a wonderful person.”

“I am honored to write this review for Jaime. Jaime was my daughter’s physical therapist during her first 3 years of life. He is the most knowledgeable, skillful and talented therapist I’ve ever known. He has a great sense of compassion and cares deeply for his patients and their families. I highly recommend Jaime to be your child’s physical therapist.”

“Jaime made all the difference in both of our sons' physical development. He has the distinct ability to motivate and push our boys to practice new skills and instill courage where needed. Highly recommend him!”

"Jaime became our son’s physical therapist through a regional center recommendation. He is an awesome PT, and was able to challenge our son James to work on developing his general motor skills. It wasn't always easy with James – as he has a "love/hate" relationship with Jaime. In the beginning, James tried to whine his way through the sessions but in time, through Jaime’s persistence and methodical approach, he was able to get James onboard to his PT program and to work on his deficiencies.
Jaime also provided a lot of feedback and insight to us parents in areas beyond PT such as managing behavioral and motivation issues. We are really grateful that Jaime was always frank and maintained open communication with us on James' challenges and areas for improvement. Jaime was always ready to share his "bag of tricks." We really appreciate Jaime’s guidance and support over the past year."

"Jaime joined as our physical therapist with a happy, fun and pragmatic approach. He was good at cultivating my toddler's interest, engaging with her, and challenging her, while also working to making things fun. He was quick to identify her one sided preference and helped us with strategies to work on strengthening the other side. Highly recommend Jaime!!"

"Jaime Clevenger has been such an asset to our family. He started working with our son Luke when he was about 10 months old, up to his 3rd birthday. Luke has Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy and was falling behind in his gross motor skills as well as having asymmetrical muscle weakness associated to his G-tube. Jaime helped us teach Luke to crawl and then walk. The list goes on of Luke’s achievements thereafter, thanks to Jaime’s patience, knowledge, expert hands, and communication. Jaime has been a trusted voice if we felt weary and a straight shooter when we needed to hear it. He understands a child’s needs and is always on their level. He has been the only therapist to be able to keep Luke’s attention for a whole session. Let me tell you. That alone makes Jaime an extremely valuable resource. We are so thankful for Jaime's 2+ years of dedicated PT with Luke."

“Jaime played a pivotal role in my twin sons' physical development and overall development since it’s all intertwined and connected. They employed the skills acquired in physical therapy at the park in other areas/environments! I was so proud to see my children (pandemic babies) excelling on the playground and this was all thanks to Jaime! Thank you Jaime for helping this mama get out of her fear of taking twins to the park.
We are so grateful to have had Jaime work with us! We were assigned to him through our regional center and worked with him from 29 months to 36 months. Jaime is professional, encouraging, understanding, and very knowledgeable in working with children with special needs. He especially was familiar with my twins’ autism diagnosis. We will miss him so! All children who work with him will see progress and are truly blessed!"
Angie L.
"We could not have asked for a better PT for our son. Jaime brought his professionalism, knowledge and expertise into every single session. From day one he did everything he could to quickly build a strong rapport with our son, always remembering what toys he liked, and which activities motivated him. His intuition with our son was incredible; Jaime paid attention to his personality quirks, and worked hard to gain his trust. Jaime knows how to provide high support and love, which was so important to us as our son started PT when he was just 9 months old, alongside high expectations and a high level of challenge. He modeled to us how to do the same so we could continue the work and exercises in between sessions.
More than all of this, Jaime was warm and encouraging to us as new parents, offering us encouragement and advice from his own parenting journey at every single stage. When we started PT our goal was that our son would gain the confidence and skills needed to independently explore the world. Jaime helped him to do exactly that, and allowed him to have a lot of fun along the way. It was a very happy day for us when Jaime began working with our son, and we will forever be grateful!"
Candace & Elijah V.
"Jaime has been a great asset to our son's growth and development the last few years. He quickly was able to build rapport with our shy and anxious son and their relationship has flourished since then. He not only helped our son improve his physical skills, but we have also seen a tremendous gain in confidence as he tackles new physical tasks.
Thank you, Jaime, for everything you have been able to accomplish with our son."
Farah Q.
"We are beyond grateful to have had Jaime as our son Luca’s physical therapist for over a year. We can’t thank him enough for the instrumental role he played in Luca’s therapy journey. Jaime was there every step of the way for Luca and our whole family. We looked forward to each session and appreciated all his insight and expertise.
Jaime is one of a kind and truly has such a special way with connecting with toddlers. Luca loved to give Jaime a hard time but that didn’t faze him. Their bond could not be replicated. From day one, he guided us through many milestones and was able to encourage and support Luca in accomplishing his PT goals. Having come to an end with physical therapy was bittersweet. He truly touched our lives as a family. If you’re a parent in search of a pediatric physical therapist, choose Jaime and let him work his magic!"
Rochelle C.
"What a fun, funny, informative, and connected experience we’ve had with Mr. Jaime as our son’s Physical Therapist this past year and a half. Our toddler showed a COVID-enhanced gross motor skill delay that left him unsure in his ability and downright anxious and emotional when confronted with new physical challenges. Jaime wasted no time in developing a strong relationship, toughening him up, and building his confidence while navigating our little man’s sharp mind and often hilarious verbal resistance.
Jaime helped transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and, sometimes, even enjoyment! Jaime’s patience was spotlighted, working with our son, and we’re very grateful to have had him in our corner as we prepare our toddler for his ongoing path to mastery of his body and increased independence!
Jaime is a very good human, great with kids, and an excellent parental educator as well. We would encourage anyone to entrust him with their child’s PT needs. I guarantee our son will happily sing Jaime’s catchy nursery songs while swinging at the park for years to come! "
Kat & Danny R.
"Jaime is great with kids. His expertise, patience, and compassion have made a huge impact on our son's physical development and well-being. Our son has progressed from unbalanced walking to climbing, kicking, jumping, and running under Jaime's 6-month support. More importantly, Jaime has built our son's confidence in physical activities. Our son experienced the transitions from a toddler boy who shies away from playing outdoors to a young little man who loves to go to parks, he now always looks forward to Jaime's sessions and enjoys the fun activities and exercises from Jaime's design.
As first-time parents, we have benefited a lot from the suggestions Jaime offered, to further practice with our son in our daily life, to trust our son, and to raise the bar to let him thrive. Jaime has even shared with us tricks for facilitating our son's speech and social skills. Our whole family has learned so much from Jaime.
We are so lucky to have Jaime as our physical therapist, we cannot thank him enough for everything he has brought to our life!"
Lu W. & Weihua G.
"Jaime, helped my son catch up on his developmental milestones including walking. With Jaime’s help, my son even surpassed my expectations by walking early and he keeps us moving everyday. Jaime knows the step by steps of each milestone and the interventions needed to facilitate physical development. He pushed my kid to his limits and allowed time for him to go at his pace. Logistically he is easy to work with, consistent, and flexible with scheduling if a change is needed due to change in nap times, etc. I would recommend Jaime for your kids’ PT needs!"
Grace D.
" Thank you Jaime for your amazing work with Henry and getting him to be such a confident walker!
​
Jaime completed a PT evaluation for my son for the Regional Center and then began working with him on a weekly basis shortly after that. From the very first session, Jaime took the time to thoroughly assess my son's needs and developed a personalized treatment plan that addressed his specific requirements.
​
Jaime created a positive and motivating environment that made my son feel comfortable and confident. While Jaime focused on my son's physical development he was always encouraging his language development and general confidence in each session. Jaime used creative and engaging activities and an amazing bag of toys to make therapy sessions enjoyable, which significantly contributed to his progress.
Jaime consistently communicated with us about my son's progress and provided invaluable guidance on how we could support his development at home. He even recommended a different brand of shoes and helped me to pick out more structured sneakers to help my son's balance as he started to walk more."
Zoe F.
“Jaime has made a profound difference in our child's life and development and we gladly give him our highest possible recommendation. He has a gift of spotting the most minute details and devising a functional plan for improvement. He then implements his knowledge and techniques in a creative and fun way.
Jaime is able to challenge kids to make continued progress but in a calm and patient way, and is unflappable even with the fussiest of children. He is fantastic at communicating with parents, going the extra mile to explain everything in an understandable way, and coming up with practical ways we can continue to help our child progress in between appointments during the course of regular daily life.
You will not find anyone more dedicated or trustworthy than Jaime.”
Issac L.
“We feel very fortunate to have had Jaime Clevenger as our daughter’s physical therapist. He was professional, on time, organized, and clearly passionate about his work and his desire to help kids. Our daughter showed immediate improvements after just one session.
I realize that our situation was probably unique, but it goes to show how he was able to quickly identify an area of improvement, and then teach her a new skill to overcome an obstacle that was holding her back.
Over the two years that Jaime worked with our daughter he found the right balance of pushing her limits to help her meet her goals, while not overdoing it so that her sessions became something she hated or feared. She was always excited to see him. We were also grateful for how Jaime took extra time to answer our questions and address our concerns whenever we asked.
Again, we feel very fortunate to have found Jaime Clevenger.”
Nate W.
“Our 18 month-old daughter, Carmen Ann, who has Down's Syndrome, has advanced by leaps and bounds through Jaime's physical therapy program. Jaime finds just the right balance of pushing Carmen so she makes advances and recognizing when she needs a rest, praise, and downtime. In a period of just over two months, we saw Carmen go from crawling and a fear of standing to regular standing without support, walking several steps, and fearless repeating of the process. It's hard to fully express how amazing it was to observe the transition of a baby nervous to let go of support to a toddler willing to exercise, move, walk, stand, fall, and repeat.
Jaime also has the necessary perceptive understanding of each family's unique situation. He takes into account how parents and child interact and customizes his approach around that. Jaime's recommendations always proved to be spot on. And he always makes sure you, as parents, are empowered with exercises throughout the week to make sure the progress continues.
It's very easy for us to recommend without reservation that you use Jaime for any of your baby's or toddler's physical therapy needs. It will be hard to find a better combination of technical expertise, therapy which produces immediate noticeable progress, and in-home professionalism.”
Craig H.
“Jaime Clevenger is a wonderful physical therapist. He has worked with our son Alex since he was 3 years old through the end of 5th grade, and all the surgeries in between. If not for physical therapy, Alex would not have the range of motion and dexterity he enjoys given his diagnosis from birth which limited his growth, along with severe contractures in his joints. Jaime was also instrumental in guiding Alex's progress through the public school system, making sure accommodations were met for his physical disability. Thank you Jaime for all you've done with Alex. Words can't express our gratitude. Your expertise, patience, dedication and love for your craft has been evident since you took on Alex's care.”
Joseph & Sandra D.
"Jaime is a wonderful physical therapist: he is patient and knowledgeable! Our toddler, born with cerebral palsy, has grown and developed real skills thanks to therapy with Jaime. We began working with him before our child was one year old, and session after session, Jaime was patient with the stranger anxiety and the crying fits. Many months later, as parents, we continue to value Jaime’s professional dedication and we are so grateful to him. We really appreciate Jaime’s unique PT approach, which in our specific case allows us to incorporate therapeutic techniques into all aspects of our child’s life, not only “exercises.” By integrating certain modes of movement into our daily routines, our child protests less and thrives more."
David G.
"Jaime is extremely personable and patient. I appreciated his calm demeanor when first starting our treatment, my son was very shy and took awhile to warm up. He worked with my son for a full year and successfully developed his physical skills (e.g. sitting up unassisted, standing, walking, bouncing on a ball, balancing, climbing, etc.).
​
I honestly don't know what we would have done in those early days without Jaime. As a first time mom, I fell like he really helped me as well. I was able to talk about my concerns and receive advice and mostly reassurance, because he's not just a physical therapist, he's also a fellow parent!
​
Thank you so much for the work that you do Jaime!"
Brittania D.
"Jaime has been a great physical therapist for my child, as he has been with us for a few years. He is very easy to get along with and you can easily trust him with your child. We had a real bumpy road at the beginning but Jaime always gives your child the push they need to get through it, He's tough but gets the job done. He knows how to interact with your child, he makes the work out to be more like an activity or a game.
My son has progressed so much in his physical development and is more confident and stronger to do things that he struggled so much with at the beginning of our time together. We couldn't have done it with out Jaime."
Vanessa C.
"Jaime has worked with our daughter, Violet, every week for over 15 months. Immediately we were drawn to his positive energy and expertise. Jaime is kind, funny, easy-going, reliable, determined, committed, and very knowledgeable.
Violet has a rare genetic disorder and has challenges with her gross motor skills and can be very stubborn. Jaime taught us how to make Violet’s strong will into an asset. While Violet wasn’t always the happiest, she and we knew that after every session she had made progress. And Jaime was always incredibly patient and supportive of Violet during these tough sessions, skills that come from being a parent himself. His debriefs focused on the facts and he left us feeling positive and aware of what we could do during the days between our next session to put Violet in the best position to keep advancing. Challenging and educating us as parents was a gift that we will always be grateful to Jaime for giving us.
The results are outstanding. Violet shows so much strength, walks on her own, and she now enjoys her time with Jaime. He gave Violet, and us, the tools and confidence to keep doing the work, especially when it was hard. His unique ability to tailor therapy to Violet’s needs and personality has always brought us comfort.
We are SO grateful that Jaime is a part of Violet’s life and for the skills he has taught her. Jamie’s expertise and skills make him excellent, but his compassion and positive energy are what make him extraordinary. Thank you, Jaime!"
Patrick & Jacqui M.
"Jaime is an amazing physical therapist who worked with our daughter Ava as she was learning how to walk. From the moment we met him, Jaime put us at ease with his friendly demeanor and deep knowledge of pediatric physical therapy. He was patient and kind with Ava, taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why it was important.
Under Jaime's guidance, Ava made incredible progress in her physical development. Jaime tailored his treatment plan to Ava's specific needs and always pushed her to achieve more, while never pushing too hard. (Although Ava may have disagreed at times :) )
He also went above and beyond by offering us advice and support even outside the scope of physical therapy. He provided us with valuable information and resources about Ava's autism diagnosis, and explained to us the various treatments and therapies that were available. Jaime's expertise and guidance helped us to make informed decisions about Ava's care and to better understand her unique needs.
Jaime was also a fantastic communicator. He kept us informed every step of the way and always took the time to answer any questions we had. He made us feel like we were part of the therapy process and helped us to understand how we could support Ava's progress at home.
Overall, we are so grateful for Jaime and the amazing care he provided for our daughter. Ava is now walking confidently and we know that Jaime played a huge role in helping her to achieve this milestone. We highly recommend Jaime to anyone looking for a top-notch physical therapist for their child."
David & Jessica P.
"We are so grateful for Jaime’s patience, time, work, and expertise. Our son was in the NICU for a long 8 months and being a premie he had a lot of catching up to do. His progress and work with Jaime has amazed us, we never thought we would see the day our son was not only walking, but running around!
Jaime is patient, encouraging, kind, motivating, and real; qualities you want your child’s PT to have. Thank you so much for all your support and help with our sons physical healing journey, we appreciate you so much Jaime! "
Rob & Shana C.
"Jaime has been an important part of my daughter’s journey with mild cerebral palsy and his impact has been truly remarkable. Jaime’s fun-loving attitude and unique approach to each session make him one of a kind. He has an amazing ability to connect with children and create an atmosphere of trust and enthusiasm. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every session is productive and tailored to my daughter’s specific needs. His knowledge, skills, and commitment are evident in the progress our daughter has made under his guidance.
Thanks to Jaime, she has grown stronger and more capable with each passing day. She can do so much more at the park, her confidence and self-esteem also boosted. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Jaime as our daughter’s physical therapist. His expertise, positivity, and genuine care have made a world of difference in her life, and I cannot thank him enough for that. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of exceptional physical therapy services."
Tatevik G.
"Jaime has helped our son make so much improvements with his physical development. Our two year old is now more active and confident in his physical abilities. Jaime started working with our son shortly after our baby was discharged from the NICU. Jaime has always interacted with our baby in such a kind, patient, and caring manner. He is very personable and has shared many helpful tips and resources with us as parents. We can always count on him to give us valuable advice on what we can do with our son to support his physical growth. He helped our little one get stronger, and we are very grateful our son had Jaime as his physical therapist."
Paola C.
"Every once in a while, you get a therapist who is the sweetest and gentlest soul that will give in to your child's every demand.
Jaime is not that therapist.
We have worked with many therapists for my son over the past two years and can tell when a therapist is special. Jaime is patient, caring, and knows how to push my son out of his comfort zone. He maximizes the time with your child by pushing them to their limits. As the saying goes, you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.
Yet after all of this, my son still greets Jaime with a smile and a wave at the start of every session, which is a testament to Jaime's ability to connect with him. When it’s all said and done, you will be thrilled by your child's progress as they push through with their tear-stained cheeks and achieve milestone after milestone. We highly recommend Jaime."
Kevin and Amy H.
"Jaime is amazing! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone and everyone. Even from the minute he walked through the door we felt at ease and he really let my son take his time. He definitely had strategies to entice him in but when it was too much for my son Jaime was always willing to take a break and let him reconnect with him.
Jaime is fun, energetic and playful. He did a great job managing the situation when my older kid would want to get involved. Jaime not only follows my son’s lead but he follows ours too. He respected our values and had so much helpful advice. He became a trusted voice in our household that we could ask about anything kid related. I feel like I could go on and on about how much we love Jaime and how much his services have meant to us because the services have just added so much value to our family.
Jaime’s services were the services we were most sad to see end, but because Jaime is so good at his job, my son was able to graduate from services in a reasonable amount of time. If you are considering PT services, Jaime is hands down who I would recommend."
Julia T.
“Jaime Clevenger is an AMAZING physical therapist! He helped my son when he was two years old. My son had torticollis and because of it had difficulty balancing and was weak on one side of his body. Jaime met with us twice a week. We met at a park near our neighborhood and he worked around my work schedule to meet our needs. Jaime helped challenge him and pushed him to the limit by having him do all kinds of exercises to develop and strengthen his muscles. We met for an hour for roughly a year until my son was ready to conquer the world.
Jaime was fantastic and if someone needs a physical therapist, I highly recommend him. He was able to meet all my son’s milestones. His dedication to help children is outstanding. He is very knowledgeable and understands the importance of building relationship with his clients. He didn’t just help my son with his physical development but also helped him develop social-emotionally. Every Tuesday and Thursday’s, my son was so excited to go play with his buddy Jaime. One time we couldn’t make it and my son cried for him. He is fun and professional and truly cares about children. His rapport and friendliness are contagious. You won’t regret it!”
Cindy C.
“Our son was with Jaime very early on in his life with difficulties just being able to “sit up” among other issues. We do not believe we could have had a better person/professional/expert for the challenges at hand. Jaime is a knowledgeable and compassionate pro. He had just the right mix of encouraging and real “push” that was needed while also guiding a confidence building accomplishment each and every PT session. Jaime really helped our boy come along in measurable ways during an important and trying time for our son and our family. In our view, he is a true blessing to his patients and their families.”
Katy & Darryl G.
“Jaime's work with my daughter, Maya, was nothing short of life changing. Maya encountered many therapists in her journey the last fourteen years, but Jaime was unique in the best possible way. She worked with PTs in the three largest medical centers in the Los Angeles area, but Jaime's technique and passion for his craft was the most successful.
He pushed Maya to work harder than any other PT ever had, but you wouldn't know it from how much fun she experienced at every visit. His relationship with her was the cornerstone of the success Maya experienced. His innovative techniques inspired her to work harder than she was typically comfortable with. No goal was too lofty, but Jaime was always realistic of what it would take to get there.
Maya is a tiny person, so safety was at the top of the goals list. We are happy to report that even with her tiny frame and disabilities, she's able to control her physical environment as well as, if not better, than her typically developing sisters.
Thank you Jaime for giving Maya the gift of moving safely during any physical activity. She now swims, runs on the cross country team at her middle school and plays baseball despite her health issues. We are so grateful we found you. Maya's quality of life was beyond enhanced thanks to you.”
Karla & Justo D.
"Jaime has hands down been amazing towards our son's physical development! His professionalism, ability to evaluate, honesty, and straightforward no-frills approach are in my opinion, the perfect blend of skills needed for achieving the physical milestones within my child. Jaime brought my son from assisted walking to running laps in a matter of months! His calm and patient demeanor is a plus, especially when having to deal with tougher days where my son wasn't as cooperative with the more difficult exercises.
A big key thing I appreciated was the specific breakdowns of my child's progress after each session, as it gave us a clear picture of what to work on during the off session days. With all that being said, I can attest that the overall confidence in my child was night and day after being under Jaime's care. He quite literally has become part of our family and I would highly recommend him a thousand times over to anyone who is in need of PT for their child. My wife and I are super grateful to have Jaime in our lives."
Bernie P.
"My son started seeing Jaime when he was 15 months old as his pediatrician was concerned about him not walking. With Jaime's amazing work, we noticed progress right away. My son is now running, jumping, climbing, and walking up stairs!! We are so incredibly grateful for all of Jaime's help.
​
Both my son and I had a great experience with Jaime. He built such a great relationship with my son. My son was so excited to see his friend Jaime each week. Jaime was very engaging and made therapy fun! Jaime was also a great resource to me as a mother. He is very knowledgeable and explains things very clearly.
​
Jaime worked at a great pace for my son. He not only built my son's core strength but also his confidence. Additionally, he gave me suggestions on exercises I could practice in between our sessions.
​
Thanks to Jaime, my son made huge strides and is caught up with his milestones. Jaime cared for my son and our family and we are going to miss PT with him!!"
Sarah M.
"It is not an understatement to say that Jaime has profoundly changed our little family for the better.
Our daughter had torticollis from her breech birth, and after feeling the limits of Zoom PT, our EI case worker at the Lanterman regional center suggested we switch to in-person services with Jaime. Thank goodness we agreed! Jaime quickly understood what was happening physically and emotionally with her — and in turn helped us as parents learn how to encourage her to try new things, all with a great sense of ease and humor. Every session in our home, and then as she got bigger, at local playgrounds, left us with realistic, actionable ideas for how to set up her environment to grow and succeed in her gross motor development. Jaime was great about meeting our child where she was, adapting to moods and energy levels on the fly.
When he started with us, she was about 12 months old, she wasn't crawling much and wasn't really cruising, either. She was hesitant to try new physical skills and, to use one of Jaime's expressions, her motor just wasn't turned on. Now she's almost 2, and is climbing ladders and stairs, enjoying swings and slides, and is just a much happier kid when it comes to moving around. That's all thanks to Jaime's work, which, let's be honest, was also about teaching two first-time parents to trust their child's abilities! We will be forever grateful for the impact Jaime has made on our child's life."
Hillary & Mike C.
"Jaime Clevenger has been a game-changer for our little guy. In the two years we’ve been seeing Jaime, once-a-week for the first year and then twice-a-week for the second, there has been incredible progress in our hypo-sensitive baby-now-toddler. Jaime’s brand of “fun” keeps things challenging but always encouraging. We’ve seen skill and confidence grow alongside each other, both for toddler and parents.
With genuine caring and a great sense of humor, Jaime always makes sure we all have the tools we need to keep climbing (literally). Whether it's building muscle, complex motor planning skills, or even just standing and walking, Jaime has been a teacher and cheerleader every step of the way. In fact, our child’s biggest leap in gross motor development came after Jaime identified a very simple issue and added a single activity to the weekly routine.
We are very grateful. And on top of that, we now know many, many verses to Row Row Row Your Boat!"
Jeremy & Martie L.
"Physical therapy with Jamie has been so influential in our son Theo’s progress. Theo has more confidence to explore this big world and to do it in a safe way. He encourages Theo to push his boundaries and helps him to figure out what his body is capable of. He also knows how to teach in a way that our little guy understands and helps builds confidence by celebrating all the little wins. The confidence Theo eludes on a day to day is incredible and we could’nt have done it without Jamie’s help."
Krystal & Richard M.
"I wholeheartedly recommend Jaime as a pediatric physical therapist. He has made an incredible impact on my three-year-old daughter's life, and I am grateful for the progress she has achieved under his exceptional care. From our first meeting, Jaime's warm and friendly demeanor created a comforting environment
for my daughter. He effortlessly built a rapport, making therapy sessions enjoyable and exciting for her.
Jaime's expertise in pediatric physical therapy is outstanding. His in-depth understanding of child development enables him to tailor treatments to each child's unique needs. With personalized plans, Jaime ensures that every child receives the specialized care required to
reach their full potential.
What sets Jaime apart is his ability to make therapy sessions fun and engaging. He
incorporates age-appropriate activities to promote both physical and cognitive growth. My daughter eagerly looked forward to each session with Jaime, as they are filled with laughter and significant progress.
Jaime's patience and empathy are truly remarkable. He understands that children progress at their own pace and provides gentle guidance towards achieving milestones. With his support, my daughter has gained confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
In conclusion, Jaime's expertise, passion, and genuine care have had a profound impact on my daughter's development. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a pediatric physical therapist. Trust in Jaime, and you will witness remarkable progress and transformation in your child's life, just as we have."
Nick A.
"Jaime is truly one of the best PT's out there. We are so lucky to have worked with him for about 1.5 years. My son was born premature and had quite a delay in his gross motor skills. We started working with Jaime when my son was about 9 months old. He had a hard time with tummy time and rolling, and eventually struggled with crawling and walking as well.
Jaime helped my son tremendously. He identified where the weakness in his core and muscles were, and used creative ideas, exercises, and activities to help work in those targeted areas. My son wasn't the easiest when it came to being challenged and pushed a little bit past his comfort zone, but Jaime was always so patient with him and never forced anything on him. Instead he would set boundaries and help him in ways that were more comforting for him. He has truly helped my son in so many ways and we have seen such a tremendous difference.
Jaime wasn’t just my son’s physical therapist, he soon became one of his favorite friends. The warm hugs he would give Jaime were always so precious to see. Jaime quickly became a part of our family with our weekly visits, and my daughter would always get so excited when she would be able to join little brother in his sessions. Although a bit challenging with her around, Jaime always made her feel comfortable and would give her attention, even when working with my son.
Having a premature child comes with many delays and challenges, but we are happy to see that Jaime has conquered all those challenges with my son and has helped him “catch up” during our time with him. He is now 2 years old and is thriving! We highly recommend Jaime for all your PT needs. He truly is the best, so kind, patient, funny, and overall such a blessing to my son and our family."

"Jaime was recommended by our regional center coordinator and he was an amazing support in helping my daughter meet her developmental milestones. He led each session with warmth, compassion, and a sense of humor... something much needed in navigating my tiny toddler's "passionate" feelings.
By taking the time to understand her personality, he tailored his approach accordingly to make sure she was being pushed, but never to a point where she didn't feel safe or comfortable. When Jaime handed her a challenge it was often met with resistance (the kind of resistance that's exceptionally loud), but with time, he won her over through his creative and playful ways to get her engaged. Eventually she would see him and just be ready to get to work! I also appreciated how communicative he was with me so that I always knew how she was progressing, and what we needed to focus on at home.
She is now thriving and showing so much more confidence, and I'm super grateful for his expertise, jokes, and commitment to supporting her. I highly recommend you work with Jaime!"

"Jaime came to us highly recommended after our son was hospitalized with RSV and fell behind on his development. We were told we would be lucky if he was available. We are lucky. Jaime’s work with our son has been life changing. Our son is stubborn but we have seen him progress with Jaime into a child that really seems to relish the work and the accomplishment of improving physically. That improvement was earned, in partnership. Any child would be lucky to have Jaime as their partner in their physical therapy journey."

"Jaime has been our daughter's Physical Therapist since she was 6 months old and not hitting her gross motor milestones. When I tried to find a PT I called about 15 places and was barely given the time of day. Jaime called me back in the evening and spent a long time on the phone offering advice and guidance, not even knowing whether I’d become a client, which proves his generous spirit.
Right after our first session with Jaime, we saw our daughter's motivation to move and motor planning skills change drastically, yielding practically immediate results. My wife and I were nervous first-time parents and Jaime helped us just as much as he helped her. He guided us in understanding simple, yet complex concepts like: doing less so she could do more and that when it comes to motor planning, you must start at the end.
One of the hardest lessons for us was learning that there is a proverbial line that we must encourage our daughter to cross to make progress, despite the fact that in order to do so, it will result in some discomfort, tears and small falls. We learned that there is a safe way to do this and it has made all the difference.
The parental advice Jaime has given us cannot be understated. We now feel way more comfortable leaning into our daughter’s independence and as Jaime says 'being the confidence she doesn’t have yet' by believing in her strength and resilience to learn to catch herself. I believe we are better parents because of Jaime. He is patient, really listens (and remembers), answers all the questions we have. His knowledge base is deep and his humor makes PT a fun experience. His approach is firm, which served us well because he is able to push her in a way beyond our ability, but always does so with kindness and support.
Jaime is a very talented Physical Therapist and his wisdom, compassion and motivational skills make me feel that he found his calling to work with children. Our daughter is now nearing 11 months and we are moving across the country in a few weeks. We will truly miss working with Jaime, but feel privileged to have had this invaluable experience."

"As a mom, especially an anxious one, watching your child face challenges can be overwhelming, but our experience with Jaime has been nothing short of incredible. Our son, who was a late walker, has made significant progress under Jaime’s care. From the very first session, he created a warm, supportive environment where our son felt safe, and it quickly became clear how much he loved working with him.
Beyond the physical therapy sessions, Jaime has been an invaluable resource to both my husband and me. He always takes the time to explain the exercises and progress, answering all our questions and even giving us practical tips for home. It’s clear how much Jaime cares, not just about the physical milestones, but also about our son’s overall well-being.
We are so grateful for everything Jaime has done for our family. The kindness, patience, and expertise shown throughout this journey have made a world of difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better therapist to support our son. Thank you for helping him thrive!"

"Jaime has been nothing but a godsend for us and our family. We have been working with him for over a year now and he has helped us through so many challenges and meanwhile encouraged us along the way. He has always kept things light and playful and sees our son for who he really is and what he is capable of, he is not afraid to challenge him and give him the opportunity to take risks. There is nothing more comforting for a parent, knowing that you have complete faith and trust in a therapist and the potential he can provide for your child.
The idea that therapy can exist outside in a real life, play situation is something unique and so special, something every kid deserves. We have spent too much time indoors in cold, limited "play" therapies that don't do much to replicate real life interactions. Jaime has managed to create a world where he can help children in real time, in real life, and not make a spectacle of it. We are so thankful for everything he has done for our family."

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care Jaime Clevenger provided as a physical therapist for my son. When we first met Jaime, my son was approximately three months old and had been diagnosed with torticollis, which had affected the shape of his head. Jaime's expertise, patience, and dedication were evident from the start.
Through personalized exercises and consistent support, Jaime not only helped correct my son's head shape but also significantly improved his overall muscle strength and flexibility. Jaime's compassionate approach and unwavering commitment to my son's well-being made a world of difference in his development. We are incredibly thankful for Jaime's guidance and highly recommend him to any parent seeking a skilled and caring physical therapist."

"Our daughter was born two months prematurely and spent some time in the NICU. At discharge, we were told that she would, developmentally, be two months behind until she is two years old. We were told that she would need physical therapy for two years. However, after one year with Jaime, our daughter caught up to meet her developmental milestones and was discharged a year early! Jaime showed the utmost patience and caring heart towards my daughter. Even with her fussy tantrums because he was having her do a core exercise hah!
Without him, we would have been lost on how to support our child in meeting her developmental milestones. Jaime was great in not only working with our daughter but teaching us, as parents, how we can continue to do exercises and work with our child throughout the week. This made us develop confidence as we learned how to best support our baby. We are eternally grateful for him! Plus, he's got a great sense of humor, which always makes these sessions fun!"

“We look forward to our PT sessions with Jaime every week. He makes it so fun! He is also very professional and communicative as he will often give me tips on activities to do at home to help my daughter in the areas that she needs to work on. I have seen so much improvement and progress in her over the past year. Jaime is an excellent therapist and I highly recommend him.”

"Jaime worked with our daughter, Miharu, for one year from when she was about 10 months old to almost 2 years old. When Miharu met Jaime, she couldn't sit up independently (this was the delay which led us to PT). With Jaime's guidance, Miharu could quickly sit up, and then she started pulling up to stand, crawling, cruising, and came very close to walking (which, with her genetic condition, would have been two years earlier than the vast majority of kids with the same condition). She made tremendous strides with Jaime and we attribute her quick development to Jaime's teachings and support.
Jaime is a gifted physical therapist, but he also has incredibly high emotional intelligence and compassion. Jaime was there for our family at our most vulnerable time. In that year he worked with our daughter, we received her diagnosis which was the most difficult time period of our lives. Jaime was a guiding light for us and gave us hope for Miharu's future. I will never forget when Jaime said, "There's a place in this world for your daughter." Sessions with Jaime were therapeutic for our entire family, not just our daughter. Miharu wouldn't be where she is today without Jaime, but neither would our family. We have hope today for our daughter's future. And I consider ourselves blessed for having worked with him."
