Strong Start Pediatric Therapy was founded by Melissa Rusch, a pediatric therapist who saw firsthand how transformative the right support can be for children and their families.

​

What began as a small, relationship-driven practice has grown into a trusted therapy center known for its thoughtful approach, experienced team, and commitment to meeting each child where they are, not rushing progress, but building it intentionally.

​

Melissa’s leadership remains hands-on, ensuring that every family receives the same level of care, communication, and respect that inspired Strong Start from the beginning.
