Welcome to The KinActive Community

⭐️ Your Partner in Gross Motor Development ⭐️

The Birth of KinActive


KinActive founder, Dr. Emily Heisey, DPT, experienced firsthand the concern and guilt of watching her own child fall behind in gross motor milestones. She knew that other parents had to be facing similar struggles while feeling helpless as they watched their little ones lag in development. Driven by a passion to help others, Dr. Heisey used her expertise and transformed her own personal struggle into a mission: to ensure no parent felt powerless in their child’s developmental journey. Thus, KinActive Kids was born!


About Us

Our dedicated team, now led by Dr. Emily Heisey, DPT, and Dr. Matt Otteman, DC, has created the world’s only intensive therapy clinic that successfully combines Physical Therapy and Chiropractic to achieve amazing results in a short amount of time. Our mission is to change the way the world treats its children and to date we have had families from 40 states and 15 countries walk through our doors. We work with children with all kinds of diagnoses and special needs, but we don’t let the diagnosis define the child. Where others see impossible, we see opportunity.


The KinActive Promise

In our Community, we provide parents with the specialized knowledge and resources to address concerns about their child's motor skills. We understand that every child is unique, and we believe that early intervention and proactive strategies can greatly optimize their development. Our team of experts is dedicated to empowering parents with the information and tools they need to support their child's growth and well-being.
Our comprehensive milestone masterclasses cover every phase from birth to walking. These on-demand video courses provide engaging, easy-to-follow guidance for nurturing your child’s development through purposeful play. Each class is curated to encourage progress through specific milestones, with the flexibility to suit your schedule and your child's unique pace.
In addition, we are passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive space where parents can connect with one another, exchange insights, and find inspiration. We understand the challenges and worries that can arise when it comes to a child's development, and we want to ensure that no parent feels isolated on this journey. Whether it's sharing personal experiences, offering advice, or simply lending an empathetic ear, we promise our community is a place for support and encouragement.
