Our Services

Starfish Therapies is a pediatric therapy company that provides clinic based services in Burlingame, San Francisco, Palo Alto, and Half Moon Bay. Our promise is that each therapy session will be catered to your child’s needs.

Pediatric Physical Therapy

Physical therapy focuses on a child’s ability to participate in daily activities and routines in their home, school and community by addressing physical challenges. Pediatric Physical therapy services address gross motor development and coordination, environmental exploration, play skills, orthopedic and neurological development, self-help strategies, and sensory function.

We offer the following pediatric physical therapy services:

  • Telehealth
  • Intensive Therapy
  • Annual Gross Motor Exams
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation
  • Concussion Management
  • Early Intervention
  • Assessment of Footwear and Orthotics
  • Private Insurance and Cash Pay Services
  • School-Based Services

My son has seen tremendous progress when working with the PT’s at Starfish.

They know just how to motivate him (from his early grade school days to his current tween attitude) to push and reach that next milestone all while smiling. And the expertise and equipment they have is just not available anywhere else!! We drive an hour plus in traffic just to get to this fabulous location on the bay. Thanks Stacy and team for your loving care and encouragement for my son to reach whatever heights he can!”

Pediatric Physical therapists perform evaluations, plan and implement treatment strategies and developmentally appropriate activities, identify appropriate assistive devices and durable medical equipment, and create solutions for barriers that limit interaction with their environment and peers in family-, learning-, and community-based activities.

Pediatric Occupational Therapy

The ultimate goal of an Occupational Therapist is to increase independence in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). In doing so, the therapist addresses a broad number of challenges, including social-emotional, physical, cognitive, communication, and adaptive behavior challenges. Pediatric occupational therapy services, more specifically, focus on addressing feeding skills, perceptual and sensory processing, fine motor development, environmental exploration, play skills, and psychosocial skills.

Pediatric occupational therapists perform evaluations, plan and implement treatment strategies and developmentally appropriate activities, decrease environmental barriers that limit participation in family, learning, and community based activities, and identify appropriate assistive technology.

For further information regarding occupational therapy, please visit the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) website. AOTA is the professional organization for occupational therapists.

I could see the progress being made in my son’s communication and overall disposition. Not only were the classes fun, but he also became a lot less frustrated when trying to communicate with others.”
