Hi, I’m Dr. KC Rickerd, PT DPT

Pediatric physical therapist, wife, mom of three, and the founder of Journey Through Milestones Physical Therapy and Milestones & Motherhood.

For nearly a decade, I’ve worked in pediatrics, first as a physical therapist assistant and then as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, specializing in the evaluation and treatment of babies and children with a wide variety of diagnoses and abilities. Along the way, I’ve supported countless families navigating motor milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling, and walking, as well as conditions such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, hip dysplasia, toe walking, and more.

I started Journey Through Milestones because I saw firsthand how overwhelming and stressful motor development can feel for parents, and how the lack of available resources was impacting so many of my own community’s children. With so many caregivers often left asking things like:

• What should I expect at each stage?

• How do I encourage my baby to master new skills?

• What kind of purposeful play actually makes a difference?

• And when should I bring my concerns to the pediatrician?

I knew my expertise could be impactful on a larger scale.

My mission is simple: to make pediatric physical therapy approachable, empowering, and encouraging. Every family I work with leaves not just with a plan, but with confidence, knowing how to support their child’s development and enjoy the journey without the constant stress of comparison.

At Journey Through Milestones PT, we believe that every baby and child deserves the tools and support to thrive, and every parent deserves to feel encouraged, empowered, and excited along the way.

Let’s take this journey together!
