Our address is 40 S. River Rd. Unit 33 in Bedford NH.

If you type “Playful Progress Pediatric Therapy” into GoogleMaps, it will bring you right to our door.

There is ample parking right outside our front door. You will need to walk about 25ft from your car to enter our office. There is one step to manage.

You are in luck! There are so many great food and shopping options within a 5 minute drive of our office including: Target, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market, Starbucks, Pressed Cafe, Chipotle, CAVA, Playa Bowls and more. I’ll be the first to tell you that you deserve a treat!

Dr. Brenda Sacino is Playful Progress’s sole physical therapist. You can be sure that your appointment is booked with her.

Dr. Brenda has over 17 year experience working with infants and toddlers. She is a certified breastfeeding specialist with over 250 hours of additional infant-specific training.

Expect to spend 60-75 minutes at our office for your first visit. Before moving into physical assessment, Dr. Brenda will ask you lots of questions about your child and family to get to know you all better.

Your baby’s physical therapy evaluation will take place on the floor on a large exercise mat. You are welcome to join us on the floor so you don’t miss a thing! Infant PT looks a lot like play and stretching. Before you leave, I’ll make sure that your questions are answered and you have activities to work on until you return.

It can be helpful if you bring a blanket to your baby’s visit. If your baby is working on feeding, it is helpful if you bring their favorite bottle and pacifier.

Definitely bring your questions to every visit, as we love to make sure they all get answered.

Dr. Brenda is used to all kinds of customers :) She understands that babies have all kinds of needs, and often an unpredictable schedule. You never have to be sorry about having a tired, fussy or hungry baby. Time is built into sessions for your baby’s needs, and often skilled PT can still be accomplished during feeding and sleep!

Your child's appointment time is reserved just for them. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapist's day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee equal to the full cost of the appointment - to the card on file.

Playful Progress is intentionally an out-of-network provider for all major insurance companies. This means that I do not directly accept insurance. Our goal is to help your child achieve their goals without limits, especially those put in place by private insurance companies in regards to number of approved visits and when those visits can be utilized.

As a direct-access, cash-based provider, Playful Progress is able to offer immediate access to quality physical therapy services without cost surprises or restrictions. Our pricing is transparent from the start.

While we do not directly accept insurance, we will create a SuperBill or invoice upon request if you wish to submit for reimbursement through your insurance. Reimbursement is unique to your insurance company and not guaranteed.

No, you do not. In the state of New Hampshire, patients can access physical therapy directly WITHOUT orders or a referral from a medical doctor. However, a medical doctor’s order may be required by your insurance to submit for reimbursement.

Payment is due at time of service with rates clearly outlined in intake paperwork. Playful Progress accepts credit cards, debit cards, and payment via our Venmo business account.

Playful Progress accepts HSA/FSA funds, and can process payments with credit/debit cards you may have associated with these accounts.

A superbill is an itemized receipt for the services you received at your appointment. It shows proof of your payment along with important details your insurance company will want to know about your child’s visit like diagnosis codes, treatment codes, and provider information.

A superbill is used to submit for possible reimbursement for Out-Of-Network services. Playful Progress is an Out-Of-Network provider will all insurances. Reimbursement will vary between insurance plans.

Most insurance companies make this fairly easy! You can typically submit your superbill by logging into your insurance provider's member portal and uploading it directly, mailing it to the claims address listed on your insurance card, or calling member services and asking them to walk you through the process.

Playful Progress is based out of Bedford, NH. We offer in-home visits on select days (usually Mondays and Fridays) within a 15 minute drive from our office at 40 S. River Rd in Bedford NH. This usually includes some homes in Bedford, Manchester, Goffstown, Merrimack and Amherst. Travel outside of these towns may be available for an additional fee.

Currently Dr. Brenda Sacino PT is only licensed to provide physical therapy services in the state of New Hampshire.

If you live outside of NH, you can travel to our Bedford NH office for physical therapy or your can book a virtual developmental consultation.

Consultations provide you with the opportunity to ask Dr. Brenda questions about your child and any concerns your may have about their development. This is not a physical therapy evaluation, but an opportunity to use Brenda as a resource, as you make decisions about the next steps for your child.

Playful Progress offers two options for motor-based play groups. Motor Play Workshops are one-hour-long group classes led by Dr. Brenda Sacino, pediatric physical therapist and certified breastfeeding specialist. Two different workshops are offered, specific to your child’s motor ability. During workshops, we will discuss how to achieve your baby’s next motor milestone, important age-appropriate ways to play with your baby, and have open Q&A. Sign up for a Workshop here!
