What Makes Us Different

We know you have questions when it comes to finding the perfect fit for your child's physical and occupational therapy needs. Here's just a few reasons why our past and current clients have chosen & stuck with us rather than opting in to an in network provider.

Our sessions are up to 25% longer than other therapy providers.

We don't agree to see just anyone, of any age; we are experts in pediatric physical and occupational therapy, and only accept pediatric patients, or adults with disabilities developed in childhood. We know the best ways to motivate your child while also keeping you in the loop.

We take photos and videos during visits to document your child's progress, and send you a direct link so that you can revel in their success and show off their skills to family and friends easily!

We focus on quality over quantity; we only hire experts in the field with many years of experience who make use of every moment in the therapy sessions.

You'll receive the direct phone number to your treating doctor to ask questions in between appointments, rather than wait for days for a response in a portal.

You'll always have the same therapist rather than be greeted by a new face without warning.

We are accommodating with any scheduling concerns or requests and will work around your schedule to the best of our ability. Yes, this includes after school spots.

We answer the phone rather than keeping you on hold.

Because we don't require authorization from your insurance company, we can see your child immediately for the evaluation and ongoing sessions without a break in service.

We don't spend an entire session writing a progress note, without providing actual therapy, every quarter.

We have connections with other referral sources to ensure all of your needs are met.

We can provide you with a superbill for reimbursement from your insurance company.

We offer a free 15-minute consultation

to understand your child’s unique needs and create a tailored plan just for you.

All of our patients have seen the value of our services compared to "someone in network," and have converted to our practice due to the results they see in weeks compared to months... or even years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: When can we get started?

We have immediate openings for virtual & in home physical and occupational therapy appointments...even after school!

Question 2: What experience do you have?

Dr. Nikki Robinett, PT, DPT has 9 years of experience. Dr. Sarah Cunningham, OTD, OTR/L, has 3 years of experience. They have both worked in a clinical and teaching environments, helping a variety of patients of all ages and empowering student therapists.

Although Moving & Grooving PT was established in 2022, Dr. Nikki has 9 years of experience as a doctor of physical therapy. She has worked in early intervention/ AZEIP, outpatient, aquatic therapy, skilled nursing (SNF) & home health settings. As a result, she has learned many different techniques & skill sets, collaborated with many other pediatric experts & understands the importance of teaching caregivers what to do outside of their therapy sessions. She has also taught pediatric physical therapy to doctoral students at Midwestern University for the past 2 years.

Question 3: Why should we choose you?

At Moving & Grooving PT, you'll receive the very best..... the best therapists, treatment, intervention, and dedication. We value our patients so much that we give out our cell phone numbers to be reached at any point between appointments. We offer in home, in clinic and virtual appointments to make it easy for your child to succeed. We help the child by also empowering the family members with activities to practice and techniques to master when we're not there. There is no guessing as to which therapist your child will see for their scheduled therapy; whichever one you are assigned, you will see consistently. Your therapists will engage in a variety of interventions & suggest other activities to see what works best for your child if they're struggling to participate or make progress. We will only schedule you for an evaluation if we can fit you in for ongoing appointments after; this is generally not the case at larger therapy companies. Finally, our evaluations are 75 minutes and our sessions are at 55-60 minutes; most other pediatric therapy locations offer 30-45 minute appointments.

We are a 5* agency; the best of the best in Scottsdale, AZ! Not only should you not settle for a long wait list, but you shouldn't settle for brand new therapists, nor a rotating staff to see your child. We have high quality interventions that have been shown to provide amazing results & attend ongoing trainings to stay up to date with the best practices. Our past & current patients have all elected to utilize our concierge services over 'in network' providers, as they have seen how much we truly care & how much progress their child makes in our care, as compared to competitors. Actual quotes from our patients include, "You've completely changed our lives since working with [our son]," "We have seen more progress in a few weeks with you than in the 2 years we spent going to [other clinic]." "You are truly amazing at what you do, I hope you know that!" "You are worth every penny." "I can't believe how quickly she did it on her own after you left," "Thanks for all you helped us with! He's doing so good thanks to you!" "We don't know what we would have done without your help!" "I'm so glad that we found you!" "We would have never known our child has [cerebral palsy, hip dysplasia, genetic condition] without your expertise, and we are so grateful for that."

Question 4: Did I do something wrong to cause my child to be delayed?

A child can require therapeutic intervention for a variety of reasons, and it is almost always multi-dimensional, and out of your hands. What's important is knowing that you did your best with the information and knowledge you had at the time, and you're now adding more interventions to help your child succeed even more. We're here to help you on the path forward and hope that you'll let us lead you this way rather than staying stuck on the path to the past.

Absolutely not. Your child's development is multi-faceted, and they develop in different ways than you, their siblings, or their peers. This can be due to a variety of factors, but please know that you are not the cause for your child's diagnosis or being behind with their milestones. At Moving & Grooving PT, we are big believers on shifting our mindset to being more positive & optimistic. We focus on what you can do moving forward, rather than what you could have done differently before; none of us are perfect. We love sharing resources with our families to ensure they know what they can do to help their child even more. You're doing the best you can with the information you have, and the love and dedication you're pouring into your child currently is an amazing foundation!

Question 5: Do you have children of your own?

Our doctors do not have children of their own. Dr. Nikki has dogs & enjoys spending time with her friend's children. Dr. Sarah has nieces and nephews she enjoys spending time with. Jenny, our admin assistant, does have a toddler, Jaxson, who is a very fun addition to the office!

Dr. Nikki does not have her own children. She enjoys spending time with her dog, Maverick, children of friends and family members.
