Baby Steps Therapy RGV

I’m Rebecca Perez PT, DPT, PCS, a physical therapist with a Board-Certification in Pediatrics. I’m one of only three PT’s in the Rio Grande Valley to hold this distinction. Even before beginning college, I knew that working with children was my calling. I earned my bachelor's degree in Biology from the UTRGV in 2011 with double minors in Psychology and English. I continued my studies to graduate with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from The UNTHSC in 2015. In March 2024, I became trained in Dynamic Movement Intervention, Introductory Level A, which is an innovative pediatric physical therapy intervention designed to stimulate neuroplasticity and development of motor milestones. I have a special interest and additional training in working with children with developmental delays and various neuromuscular, orthopedic, and genetic conditions.

On a personal level, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family and friends. My husband, son and I love watching basketball, playing board/video games, and spending time at the beach or a pool! My wonderful parents, who have always fostered education and leadership, blessed me with five incredible older sisters who are experts in their field of study. My friends have become like family and are some of my biggest cheerleaders. We love to plan parties (themed of course), have movie/game nights, or dance the night away. I am forever grateful to my entire family for their constant love and support.

I have found my purpose, and I'm committed to providing personalized care and guidance for my patients on this Physical Therapy journey. I’ll be here every step of the way, ensuring that each of my “babies” and their families receive the attention and support they deserve ❤️
